Mega Millions’ {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern Double Boost

November 15th meant three things:

  1. We made it halfway to November
  2. There were nine days left until (U.S.) Thanksgiving
  3. Mega Millions was out and about

This year, November 15th fell on a Tuesday, and with no other lotteries around, Mega Millions could spread out and shoot upward! Thanks to a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore, the jackpot grew to $238 million.

There may not be any big jackpots for a while, but you can count on some surprises, especially with the Holiday Season on its way. This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe and stay warm.  

Pattern Streak and Jackpots Creep

When you see or hear “creep”, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Something icky or disturbing, probably. Or, you’re thinking about all the times a project deadline crept up, and you just knew that you had more time. Now, what if there existed a scenario where something creeping was a good thing? Lottery jackpots, for example, usually grow slowly and steadily, and whoever wins is rewarded handsomely.

November 12, 2022 was a good night for both Lotto Texas and Powerball. Their prizes slowly and steadily grow (crept up) to $14.25 million and $59 million, respectively. In fact, one grew with an assist from a Pattern streak.

Mega Millions: (Current) King of Lotteries

Once, there was a lottery with a massive jackpot. People far and wide shot their shot, hoping that fortune would smile on them, and they would be granted the financial freedom many covet. Earlier this week, a lone player gained that fortune. As that lottery was dethroned, another took the crown.

As of the November 11, 2022 drawing, Mega Millions retained its high jackpot. With none of the players able to match the six numbers, the prize grew to $207 million.

As we came to Wednesday, things didn’t really settle down. Lotto Texas remained in the grasp of the {3-2-1} Pattern and streaked on to $14 million. Powerball’s jackpot bounced back to $47 million, almost as if the smackdown were more of a slap.

Greetings, Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here. Last night, on November 7, 2022, after traveling along the rails for over the past quarter year, Powerball’s Jackpot Express finally reached the end of the line when its jackpot worth around a record-breaking $2 billion—yes, $2 billion! —had finally been won by someone in the Golden State on the West Coast. To whoever that winner is, I wish him good luck. While Powerball’s jackpot reset itself back to $20 million, Lotto Texas’s jackpot increased to $13.25 million—and has been gaining momentum since September 21, 2022. And now, the details.

Interesting how Mega Millions has taken to more measured approaches! Inquiring minds want to know: How long will that last?

And Going…

Powerball’s jackpot continued to be the elephant in the room. Its growth wasn’t hampered earlier in the week, and nothing slowed it down Wednesday night. In fact, a Pattern three-peat, and then some, pushed the prize to $1.5 billion!

“Why should Powerball have all the fun?” Lotto Texas thought. “I’m still relevant, dagnabit!”  

(Good ol’ Lotto Texas, keeping it classy)

Lotto Texas may not be as grand as Powerball, but the prize over there saw a growth spurt as well. Few would turn their nose up at an $11.5 million jackpot!

Powerball thought a three-peat and a (near) playback were sufficient for throwing its weight around.

Powerball may be the biggest, baddest lottery around, but this is just another rise-reset-rise cycle. In the meantime, the world continues to watch Powerball with bated breath, wondering if a $2 billion prize isn’t too far off. And Lotto Texas, dear, dignified Lotto Texas, will (most likely) continue onward with little fanfare.
