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.
