Do NOT Hit “Repeat”

One day you’re listening to a song on Spotify and love it so much you hit “Repeat”. How many times do you replay the song? Five times? Fifteen? What if two or three times is all you feel like?

Anyone hoping for a Pattern streak in either Lotto Texas or Powerball would find this past Wednesday disappointing. Pattern streaks would’ve been one heck of a lead-in to March! On one hand, the jackpots did increase, with Lotto Texas climbing to $8 million and Powerball settling for $80 million.

Will February end with Pattern encores and climbing jackpots?  

That’s 202 Million Points for “Joisey”

Nothing lasts forever. What goes up must come down. What do these clichés have to do with Mega Millions? Everything.

These fine clichés applied to Mega Millions this past Tuesday night. Thanks to a single player from New Jersey, the current cycle of a rising jackpot came to an end. In turn, the prize money up for grabs reset to $40 million.

Even though a massive jackpot has been won, there’s still the matter of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. Will it be cheeky enough to come back for an encore Friday night?

The Encore Killer

If you were looking to start the weekend with a {3-1-1-1} Pattern encore, then Mega Millions fell short of that. However, if you wanted a shot at a hefty jackpot next week, then Mega Millions pulled through! With no one able to match all six numbers, the jackpot crossed the $200 million threshold: $202 million, to be precise.

A Haven for Pattern Encores

It’s Super Bowl weekend and there’s money to be won! Buying squares on the job and placing bets is all well and good, but what if you want millions right away? That’s where Lotto Texas and Powerball come in, at least on Saturday nights. Oh, and they give the option of winning large in a short timeframe.

On February 1, 2020, the lotteries had two things in common: Pattern encores and rising jackpots. The prize rose to $6.25 million for Lotto Texas and $50 million for Powerball.

Will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak continue in Powerball, and will the {3-2-1} Pattern get a streak going in Lotto Texas?  

Echoes Through the (Lottery) Void

Ever have those moments where it feels like you’re shouting into a void? That feeling when the only people who hear you are actually your own echoes?

There were echoes and both Lotto Texas and Powerball this past Wednesday. One lottery’s echoes reflected back on the Christmas/New Year’s timeframe, or thereabouts, and its jackpot rose to $6 million. The other had a monstrous jackpot that was slain by an intrepid player from Florida with the combined powers of a Pattern streak and a playback. Naturally, its jackpot reset to $40 million.

Even with the Powerball jackpot claimed, February doesn’t look to be starting off quietly. The Super Bowl is this weekend: a perfect opportunity for the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak to hold up! Will there also be room for another playback (or two)?

Playback?! Whoever Heard of a Playback?

When we prop up the hood of a lottery, we expect to find a Pattern, a Specific Order, and for Mega Millions and Powerball, a General Order. Sometimes we’ll find Pattern streaks or something wilder, like an Australia Play or maybe a playback. With January about to end, what better send off than one of those wild plays?

Well, folks, it happened again. Mega Millions once again flirted with a playback. This was enough to thwart players and the jackpot went unclaimed. It grew, naturally, to $155 million.

Monstrous and Mischievous Jackpots

The “January lull”, for the most part, didn’t exist for Lotto Texas and Powerball this year. A month that saw a repeating Five-Number Combination and a similar spread saw more madness Saturday night with a Pattern three-peat. Not only was there a three-peat to contend with, a not-so-common Pattern wanted in on the action and one lottery’s (*cough*Powerball’s*cough*) monstrous jackpot grew ever larger to $394 million. Lotto Texas, normally the “classy” one, kept up its mischievous streak with a prize that grew to $5.75 million.

A towering jackpot was all Powerball needed to make its presence known.

Powerball goes forward with a monster jackpot and a potential Pattern streak. Will either of these hold going into Wednesday night?

Encore and Hops

Today’s title means one of two things. Either Lottery Binge has decided to venture into the world of craft beer brewing (and should quit before even getting started) or there was an Australia Play and a Pattern encore. We’re going to go with the latter.

This past Wednesday night was also good for fans of repeating Four-Number and Three-Number Combinations. As busy as the night was, there were no grand prize winners in either lottery. Lotto Texas’s jackpot climbed to $5.5 million while Powerball waltzed into $373 million.

Spreading Lottery-Brand Madness

We’ve all been told (or should have been told) to never judge a book by its cover. That piece of advice must always be considered when performing lottery analysis. On the surface, both Lotto Texas and Powerball’s six numbers are unassuming. After all, they’re just numbers.

Well, this past Saturday saw a monstrous jackpot grow even larger, a Pattern encore, and a similar spread. The jackpot climbed to $5.25 million in Lotto Texas and $343 million in Powerball. Just numbers, indeed!

On June 18, 2011, the winning numbers were 22, 29, 35, 37, 40, and 50, and the spread was 07:06:02:03:10.

Going into next week, we’ll need to keep an eye out for Powerball. That beast of a jackpot will get toppled sometime, but will it be Wednesday night, and with a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore? Meanwhile, the {4-1-1} Pattern isn’t known to make three-peats in Lotto Texas, but nothing seems too out of the ordinary for these lotteries!  

Reduced-Strength Encore and a Combination Triple Offense

The weekend is a cherished time. It’s meant to be the two-day reprieve from the grinds of work and school. It’s a time to catch up, a time to hang out, and a time to rest.

Lotto Texas most certainly took the “rest” part to heart. There was indeed a {4-2} Pattern encore, but this appearance wasn’t nearly as explosive. An over-the-top play wasn’t needed to send the jackpot to $17.5 million.

Powerball kept it classy. However, underneath that class was a monster of a jackpot that underwent another growth spurt. The prize climbed to $296 million.
