Showers of (Repeating) Combinations

“April showers bring May flowers,” as they say. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball were showered with repeating Combinations April 21, 2021. After the rain cleared, we weren’t left with a three-peat for either the {2-2-2} or the {2-1-1-1-1} Patterns. Instead, we were left with blooming jackpots! Lotto Texas’s jackpot grew to $11.75 million, and Powerball’s blossomed to $104 million.

Will either the {3-3} Pattern or the {2-2-1-1} Pattern return Saturday night?

The Mega Millions Springtime Spread

The phrase that best defined the night of April 20, 2021 for Mega Millions was, “Onward and Upward”. This lottery decided not to hang out with either the {2-1-1-1-1} or {3-2-1} Patterns, as it had been of late. As it went looking for another Pattern to pal around with, a similar spread got picked up along the way. That, and the jackpot rose to $277 million.

From One Pattern to Another: Mega Millions Edition

The second of two posts tonight.

Mega Millions couldn’t make up its mind about the Pattern. A week ago, it embraced the {3-2-1} Pattern. In the previous drawing, that was ditched for the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. Guess which of these Patterns Mega Millions went for in the April 16, 2021 drawing?

The consistency in Friday night’s drawing lied with the jackpot. None of the players were able to match all six numbers. Naturally, the prize rose to $257 million. The jackpot had been on the rise since February.

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 17, 27, 28, 50, 55 and MB 25, the {3-2-1} Pattern made its 33^rd appearance.

Uncomfortable At Work? These Signs Will Tell You What’s Wrong With Your Job

Tonight will feature two blog posts. This first post is a guest post from Artur Meyster of careerkarma.com.

Feeling uncomfortable at work may compromise your performance and stop you from achieving happiness in life. If you’re considering quitting, you may have landed the wrong job. Recognizing when your job isn’t a good match can be hard when we don’t keep our eyes wide open. Today, many employers are doing everything they can to meet workers’ needs because of the talent shortage. However, since overwork and stress can have adverse effects on your health, just a good salary isn’t enough.

To identify if you’re in the wrong place, here are some signs that will tell you what’s wrong with your job. They will help you make the right decision at the right time with ease.

You Hate What You Do At Work

If your current position seems like the job of your dreams during the interview, but you realize that you hate what you do, this is a huge sign you’re in the wrong place. When workers don’t enjoy what they do, they provide poor results and feel frustrated. In this case, you should consider talking to your boss to fix the issue.

If not using your strengths is what makes you feel unmotivated, try to collaborate in projects. It’s ok not to love everything about the job. But, if the bad outweighs the good, you should quit ASAP. Feeling frustrated won’t allow you to achieve happiness and might trigger strong emotional reactions. In other words, your job isn’t healthy, and you shouldn’t stay any longer.

The Work Environment Is Terrible

If the position is everything you have always dreamed of, but the work environment is awful, quitting could be a good alternative. If you feel that your current job is negatively affecting your mental health, you shouldn’t keep it. When the work environment isn’t good, no matter how happy you are at the beginning of the day, you’ll always have a bad mood at the end of your shift. Don’t forget that keeping a good emotional state and a positive attitude is essential to move forward and improve your well-being. Thus, you should look for a job that makes you feel comfortable.

Google, for example, is concerned about workers’ health. The company offers amazing perks to help workers feel comfortable, create relationships, and improve their well-being. Google’s workers love their job and enjoy what they do. As a result, they work harder day and night to help the company achieve its goals.

There Are No Opportunities to Grow

If you applied to your current job just because of the money, you’re probably in the wrong place. No matter how good your salary is, your job is stopping you from achieving happiness if you can’t grow. Having a monotonous life may cause mental and emotional issues. If you feel stuck at work, consider starting a new job search.

Before making your decision, you can ask your boss for a new position or a promotion. If they agree, you might be able to solve the problem. However, if they disagree, leaving is the best decision you can make.

Keeping Your Skills Up-to-date Is a Nightmare

Job training has become essential for employees to stay relevant. The competition is getting more challenging, and if you don’t want to be taken out of the game, you must keep your skills updated. If expanding your skills and developing your potential is a nightmare at your current job, this is a clear sign you’re in the wrong place. Get a job that allows you to enroll in coding schools like Lambda School or Rithm School. They are among the best options to get equipped with in-demand programming skills and learn how to build websites.

On the other hand, if you would like to solve the issue, you can ask your boss for free coding resources. Learning how to code will allow you to implement better techniques and provide better results. Also, if you get equipped with machine learning skills, you’ll increase your chances of getting a better job as you will have what it takes to help companies succeed.

In Summary

If you recognize any of these signs at work, you should consider getting a new job. Nowadays, several companies are concerned about workers’ education and well-being. Therefore, don’t hesitate to take the leap and get what you deserve. Don’t forget that having a great work-life balance is vital to keep excellent health and achieve happiness.

Two-Way Triple Combination Punch

Spring is in full swing and COVID-19 vaccinations are under way. As humans continued to embrace warmer weather and a slow return to “normalcy”, Lotto Texas and Powerball couldn’t be any happier themselves. In fact, both lotteries had the audacity to go crazy on repeating Four and Three-Number Combinations, respectively. The biggest takeaway of April 14, 2021 was the rising jackpots. Lotto Texas’s jackpot held strong with $10.5 million, and Powerball’s ascended to $79 million.

The Ever “Common” {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern

This past Friday night was all about an uncommonly seen Pattern. True to Mega Millions form, any love for a Pattern like {3-2-1} is short-lived. April 13, 2021 saw the return of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. Although it’s the most commonly seen Mega Millions Pattern, that didn’t necessarily translate to a “common” night! With the grand prize left unwon, It climbed to an astounding $240 million.

Subverted Lottery Expectations

Given recent events in the lottery world, you’d think either Lotto Texas or Powerball (or both) would see yet another repeat appearance of their most common Pattern. After all, the {3-2-1} Pattern three-peat in Lotto Texas laid the groundwork for a Pattern streak. Alas, these lotteries had other plans April 10, 2021. Lotto Texas broke up with the {3-2-1} Pattern and Powerball called it quits with the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. Repeating Four and Three-Number Combinations, and rising jackpots, were what remained of these tumultuous splits. Lotto Texas hit $10 million, and Powerball pushed onward to $67 million.
