Month: February 2023

3-2-1! Which is Which?

Greetings, Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here. Last night on February 27, 2023, as the month neared its end, the {3-2-1} Pattern appeared in both Lotto Texas and Powerball. However, the only difference was that the {3-2-1} Pattern played more frequently in Lotto Texas and practically rarely in Powerball. Plus, the jackpot in Lotto Texas still maintained its momentum as it increased to $48.75 million. And now, the details.

Looks like February’s ending on a high note for the Lottery World, especially with Lotto Texas’s jackpot nearing $50 million. What surprises does March have in store for us? This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe!

The Playback Kickback

Can you believe that March is almost here? You probably do, what with February being the shortest month and all. Okay, then. Can you believe that the Lotto Texas jackpot is still holding strong?

For several months, Lotto Texas’s jackpot managed to avoid a reset, and Saturday night’s results forestalled it for at least a few more nights. After the dust settled, a prize worth $48 million was left standing.

Meanwhile, Powerball’s jackpot climbed to $131 million.

Mega Millions’ Best Friend

People say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but what about lotteries? For Mega Millions, anything that keeps the jackpot growing and the largest serves that purpose. This lottery has such a friend, one that was made earlier in the week.

Friday nights mean either going out or resting up, and Mega Millions chose the latter. February 24, 2023 meant relaxing with a familiar Pattern and making big gains while doing so. The jackpot grew to $145 million.

Big Cool Down, Bigger Jackpots

Things feel more messed up these days. Some parts of the Northern Hemisphere feel more like late spring than winter or even early spring, for one. Throw in unnecessary belligerence, cold and flu (and COVID?) season, and the unshakeable feeling of being price gouged, it’s as if things are falling apart. As the human world embroils itself in contradictions, blame games, and measuring contests, the lottery world continues with a routine that has existed for many years. Wednesday night’s results were proof that big gains can be made without bluff and bluster.

February 22, 2023 was a night that showed both Lotto Texas and Powerball taking a calmer approach to jackpot gains. Putting aside the idea of Pattern streaks and dialing back on repeating Combinations pushed their respective jackpots to $47.25 million and $119 million.

Mega Millions: On Top of the World

All was right in Mega Millions’ world Tuesday night. How, you wonder, if the Powerball jackpot grew to $100 million earlier in the week? Even with a $100 million prize in one lottery, and just over $46 million in the other, Mega Millions was still on top. Given the trials and tribulations this lottery went through last month, the jackpot growing to $126 million was more than earned.

General Lottery Analysis

We are at the three-quarters point of the shortest month of the year and so far, the Lottery World has been getting a lot of surprises, which we can definitely expect more of. And how long can Lotto Texas’s jackpot maintain its increasing momentum? This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe!

The Path to a Rising Jackpot

One never knows what will turn up in a lottery drawing. Perhaps an Australia Play will be featured, or the lottery of choice has a Pattern streak going. One way or another, either someone walks away a millionaire, or the players get another chance. Talk about a cloud having a silver lining!

After Saturday night’s Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings, players for both lotteries were thwarted by a combination of factors. A Pattern encore made the prize in Lotto Texas grow to $45.25 million. For Powerball, the setup for a playback looked promising but didn’t come to pass. The “near” playback boosted the jackpot to $87 million.

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s February Fortitude

Winter blues? What winter blues? Winter has been extremely kind to both Lotto Texas and Powerball on the jackpot front. All right, Powerball has had one hiccup, but this lottery’s jackpot has been rising! With the seasons getting ready for their yearly March change-up, these lotteries’ jackpots are, pardon the expression, springing ahead, and with no one to stop them.

Wednesday night was kind to both jackpots. The Lotto Texas prize grew to $44 million with little fanfare. Meanwhile, Powerball’s rowdiness with a double encore pushed the jackpot to $73 million.

The Valentine’s Day 2023 Combination Special

Valentine’s Day is one of those “love to hate” holidays for more people than you think. Both singles and couples alike dread reminders of their relationship status (not all, mind you). If that isn’t enough, then there are the displays of cards, candies, plushies, and of course, flowers. Yet not many people turn down flowers, doubly so if chocolate is involved! Not  many people turn down the opportunity to win millions of dollars, either.

Mega Millions may not shower us with love and attention, but there does exist an opportunity to win enough money to not only retire early, but open the floodgates for buying more lavish gifts. Of course, money can’t buy love, and Mega Millions must be in the giving spirit.

Generosity was absent on the Mega Millions side. Valentine’s Day, or technically, Valentine’s Night 2023 was about the continuation of jackpot growth. Once everything settled down, the prize grew to $84 million.
