Month: June 2023

The Good(ish) Kind of Streak

There are just some streaks we can do without. An obvious one is a losing streak. But what if that losing streak fuels a good thing? No one wants to lose a lottery drawing. At least, we hope not. However, more money means a bigger nest egg, more freedom, and of course, many of us want that freedom! Alas, that desire will have to burn a bit longer.

Neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball were willing to let players win that easily! Both lotteries saw their jackpots grow to $6.25 million and $493 million, respectively.

Pattern Flings and Playback Teases

The love for a specific Pattern never lasts long. Lotteries are fickle, you see. One moment, a Pattern may show up for long periods of time, and the next it may show up just once. That fickleness also applies to playbacks. Apparently, deciding to whether to go all-in can be a tricky choice for some lotteries! Saturday nights are prime for lottery “fickleness” to be on display.

June 24, 2023 was one of those Saturday nights when both Lotto Texas and Powerball decided to ditch the prospect of Pattern three-peats. Lotto Texas pursued an infrequently played Pattern, whereas Powerball flirted with the idea of a playback but couldn’t quite commit fully to the idea. Nevertheless, both strategies boosted the lotteries’ respective jackpots to $5.75 million and $440 million.
