The talk amongst the lotteries is the Pattern streak in Mega Millions. Word has it that the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has played five times in a row over there, and Mega Millions enthusiasts are waiting to see if the Pattern will return for a sixth time. Pattern streaks, and rumors of such, are absent in both Lotto Texas and Powerball right now. Instead, they have other means of generating buzz, one of which being jackpots that trend up!
June 10, 2023 was kind to the Lotto Texas and Powerball jackpots. Players tried and failed to capture the prizes. Few would turn their noses up at jackpots that grew to $7.5 million and $324 million, respectively.
