Month: April 2023

The Lone Reset

A jackpot reset was bound to happen sooner or later for Mega Millions. The thing is, Mega Millions wasn’t expecting it this early.

“The Lotto Texas jackpot has been growing for some seven months straight! Why can’t mine?!”

Because someone in New York picked the winning numbers, that’s why. Naturally, the prize was reset to $20 million.

Mega Millions’ Potent Pattern Punch

The {2-1-1-1-1} and the {2-2-1-1} Patterns are some of the most common Patterns that you’ll encounter in Mega Millions. But, why should they have all the fun? Tuesday night’s drawing featured a Pattern that’s rarely seen but had a profound impact. The monstrous jackpot grew even larger to $476 million!

How Deep Does the Jackpot Hole Go?

On Saturday night, the allure of similar spreadsfaded for Lotto Texas and Powerball. Easter eggs were more their thing. Now, these eggs were neither hard-boiled nor plastic. These eggs are inexpensive sheets of paper that can be filled out by either hand or machine. If everything matches, then you could win enough to start your own Easter emporium!

Alas, April 8, 2023 was a big goose egg for Lotto Texas and Powerball players alike. On the bright side, the jackpots saw another boost. Lotto Texas grew to $63.75 million, and Powerball grew to $192 million.

Doing it the (Pattern) Encore Way

Pattern encores lead players down a forked path.  Encores can either help a player, or players, win the grand prize, or send them down the path of trying again. Friday night meant the latter for all who played Mega Millions. To think that a lottery that struggled earlier this year after being dealt a powerful reset managed to rebound and then some! With an assist from a Pattern encore, Mega Millions’ $441 million remained the largest jackpot of the three.

That Spreading Feeling

Looks like Mega Millions started a trend! In our Mega Millions post earlier this week, we covered a similar spread. The urge to push out a similar spread was present for both Lotto Texas and Powerball. Similar spreads weren’t the only similarity these lotteries had! April 5, 2023 was another night of rising jackpots. Rocksteady Lotto Texas grew to $63.25 million, and Powerball’s jackpot grew to $186 million.

Saturday night told a different story. Their respective jackpots grew to $61.5 million and $159 million, but without a grand display. Given what day it was, perhaps these lotteries weren’t in a joking mood.
