Mega Millions’ (Near) Playback Season

Playbacks are truly something, aren’t they? Nothing like the Pattern, Specific Order, and General Order (Mega Millions and Powerball only) all sharing a date when they were last seen together! The most notable is the Australia Play. There are, of course, other ways to achieve a playback, but it’s not always guaranteed. Mega Millions found that out recently.

This lottery tried for a playback Friday night but fell short. However, it did succeed in boosting the jackpot to $322 million.

How the (Lottery) Tables Have Turned

Something funny happened during the Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings Saturday night. Both an Australia Play and a Pattern encore were spotted, but that wasn’t the “funny” part.
