The Saturday Night Special: Pattern Fall Back and Combination Fracas

November 5, 2022 was eventful for sure! Across the pond, they were lighting bonfires and fireworks (“Remember, remember, the 5^th of November”). Several hours later, the Houston Astros claimed their 2^nd World Series title. Meanwhile, Powerball continued to be the talk of the lottery world, what with the jackpot knocking on $2 billion. Actually, it grew to $1.9 billion, but that’s plenty close! Lotto Texas, ever so graceful, quietly raised the jackpot to $12.25 million.
