Springtime Lottery Fashion

Those who accessorize may have a love/hate relationship with seasonal fashions. For example, a necklace that pairs well with an oversized sweater may look downright gaudy when paired with a sleeveless maxi dress. Of course, no two springs or two autumns are exactly alike. This is especially true of lottery drawings.

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s fashion for April 9, 2022 couldn’t be any more different. One lottery pulled out a Pattern that normally doesn’t get much play. Meanwhile, the other continued to stick with the Pattern that came onto the scene last weekend! Regardless of approach, the result for both Lotto Texas and Powerball was the same. Their respective jackpots climbed to $8.75 million and $268 million.

Looks like April’s off to a great start for the Lottery World. What other Springtime surprises await around the corner? This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe!

April Lottery Showers Bring…

April lottery showers bring May lottery flowers? No, that can’t be right. April showers (should) bring May flowers, but what’s lottery got to do with any of this? Well, dear readers, lotteries constantly shower us with numbers. Said numbers fall in a Pattern, which can then be broken down further into General Orders (Mega Millions and Powerball only) and Specific Orders. The results can be surprising!

Lotto Texas played a not-so-common Pattern earlier this week, Wednesday to be precise. In fact, Lotto Texas liked this Pattern so much that it stuck around for Saturday night. The jackpot grew to $8 million.

Meanwhile, Powerball flirted with the idea of a playback. Although one didn’t materialize, the jackpot grew just the same. After the showers stopped, $231 million was what remained.

What will April’s lottery showers bring in the week ahead? Is Lotto Texas’s {4-2} Pattern going to play for the third time in a row, and will a playback happen in Powerball?

Pranks? From Mega Millions? Never!

Love it or hate it, April Fools’ Day isn’t going away anytime soon. April 1st is when even the most serious person can release his or her inner prankster without shame. Of course, if one isn’t careful, the prankster can become the pranked! It’s good to remember, though, that these pranks should be in good fun. After all, we could all use a good laugh these days. Would you believe that as much as lotteries like to troll, they’re not prankster types?

Mega Millions certainly wasn’t about pranks Friday night. A {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat was serious business, even more when it pushed the jackpot up to $81 million!

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat of April 1, 2022 was thanks to 26, 42, 47, 48, 63 and MB 21. This Pattern has now played 325 times.

Prior to Friday night, the 0 1 1 2 1 1 Specific Order played October 16, 2020.

Three-Number Combinations

Mega Millions was so focused on the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat that no repeating Three-Number Combinations played.

Is a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak on-tap, or will Mega Millions make way for another Pattern Tuesday?

Mega Millions in “Stand by Your Pattern”

“March comes roaring in like a lion and out like a lamb,” or so the saying goes. If the weather at the beginning of the month is rough, then the weather at the end of the month should be calmer. Of course, you most likely remember at least one occasion when that wasn’t true! Lotteries, like Mother Nature, pay such sayings no mind.

For Mega Millions, Tuesday night meant the return of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, though it wasn’t exactly like last time. There wasn’t a playback, but this lottery stirred the pot a different way. This pot-stirring helped push the jackpot to $70 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore of March 29, 2022 was thanks to 7, 22, 36, 45, 47 and MB 12. This Pattern has now played 324 times.

Mega Millions and the Springtime Chill

As March starts to make way for April, the weather patterns will continue to shift. One day, it’s warm and sunny, and the next is stormy, sometimes violently so. This is true of lotteries, regardless of the time of year.

Until the night of March 25, 2022, Mega Millions showed little restraint. Not even a jackpot reset earlier in the month could stop Pattern encores and the glorious madness of repeating Three-Number Combinations! Yet, as we entered the first full weekend of spring, Mega Millions opted to stop and feel the springtime breeze. This relaxed approach boosted the jackpot to $60 million.

Three-Number Combinations

Will Mega Millions’ relaxed approach return for Tuesday night?

A Mega Millions in Search of a Playback

The concept of “almost” is a tease if you’re looking forward to something. Case in point: It’s almost spring. Or it can mean “Close, but not close enough!” When you were in school, almost passing a test may make you feel a little better, but you still failed. When playing the lottery, almost getting all the numbers means you didn’t win the grand prize. You might win some money, depending on how many you (and others) picked correctly, but everyone who’s honest about why they play is playing for the big bucks. For lotteries, “almost” can also mean special types of plays not showing up at all.

For Mega Millions, “almost” fell into the second and third categories Friday night. Closer analysis pointed to a playback being in the works, but it was ultimately blocked. That, and with the assistance of so many “almosts” from players far and wide, propelled the jackpot to $39 million.

General Lottery Analysis

March 18, 2022 featured the 322nd appearance of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, with 2, 6, 25, 40, 45 and MB 5.

Although a playback wasn’t meant to be Friday night, there is the matter of the featured Pattern. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern is notorious for making encores, which then can blossom into something larger! Is a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore in store for Tuesday night?

The Rare and the Common: An Unusual Pattern Pair

The Ides of March came and went, and Lotto Texas and Powerball breathed a sigh of relief. They weren’t the ones who had to deal with it (this year), for one. Yet, being Wednesday night lotteries and all, they couldn’t  get up to any wild shenanigans for St. Patrick’s Day. Instead, March 16, 2022 was a night for both a rare Pattern and a common Pattern to bask in the spotlight together!

(Carpe noctem?)

In the end, the jackpot climbed to $6.25 million for Lotto Texas and $147 million for Powerball.
