Mega Millions, Lotto Texas, and Powerball don’t have much in common. One thing they do have in common lately is how difficult it has been for anyone to claim their jackpots. Currently, one jackpot is worth over one billion dollars, and there’s another lottery that may be crazy enough to go for it. Meanwhile, the other lottery has a much smaller, though just as powerful prize. Millions is millions, after all. In fact, Lotto Texas and Powerball have much in common these days!
January 11, 2023 was a night that highlighted those commonalities. Of course, Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots went unclaimed, and respectively rose to $30.75 million and $404 million. However, a funny thing happened on the way to rising jackpots.

Powerball
General Lottery Analysis
Powerball looked over Lotto Texas’s shoulder and thought playing the {3-2-1} Pattern was a bright idea. This Pattern made its 53rd appearance with 4, 8, 46, 47, 48 and PB 5.
This {3-2-1} Pattern has played in 6.37% of the 832 Powerball drawings.

A {3-2-1} Pattern playback was close, but it wasn’t meant to be. Instead, Powerball decided to introduce the 2 0 0 3 0 1 Specific Order to the world!

The 2 0 0 3 0 1 Specific Order has played in 1.89% of the 53 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.12% of all 832 drawings.

Does Saturday night mean more rising jackpots, or will at least one lottery be forced to reset?
