Luck is said to be when preparation meets opportunity.
Although Mega Millions players prepared with their tickets bought and numbers
selected, the opportunity to win the grand prize didn’t arrive. Having the
drawing fall on Friday the 13th didn’t help the triskadekaphiles, either.
No jackpot winner meant another opportunity to try again next week. The prize
rose to $192 million.

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern’s appearance knocked out the chance for a
{4-1-1} encore. Still, this is the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, one that doesn’t really
shy away from Pattern streaks. Could an encore be in store for Tuesday night?
It sounds unbelievable, but the Lotto Texas jackpot is now
roughly 35.8% that of Powerball’s! With no grand prize winners in either lottery,
the jackpots stand at $21.5 million and $60 million, respectively. Even with Lotto
Texas stealing the spotlight lately, Powerball looks to take some it back with
the wonders of a Pattern streak.

We’re nearing the halfway mark of the month, and both
lotteries have got the momentum. Of course, the elephant in the room is the
Lotto Texas jackpot. Will it continue to rise the rest of the month, or will it
be brought down to size Saturday night?
An unexpected character evolution has taken hold in the lottery world over the past few months. Lotto Texas, generally the meek, unassuming lottery, has gotten a taste of crazy jackpot fever, relatively speaking. There were no grand prize winners September 7, 2019, and this pushed the jackpot over the $20 million mark ($20.5 million, in fact)!
Powerball’s jackpot hasn’t received the “nurturing” Lotto Texas has. These past few months have seen the prize resetthreetimes. Not so Saturday night. With no grand prize winner, the jackpot now stands at $50 million.

A Monster Prevention Task Force was deployed in Powerball September 4, 2019. It was nearly three weeks ago that the Powerball prize had been won. To think that the prize would be won again, and so soon, was unexpected. Thanks to some New York Charm, the jackpot reset to $40 million.
Lotto Texas continued its summer-long jackpot high with a jackpot
that climbed to $19.75 million. How often do you see the Lotto Texas prize be
close to half that of Powerball?

Patterns, and it’ll be interesting if either one of them goes for the
three-peat Saturday. The one thing on everyone’s minds is that Lotto Texas
jackpot. Will it cross the $20 million mark or will it, too, be brought back
down to Earth?
Craziness from Wednesday does not always carry over into Saturday. The night of August 31, 2019 was much quieter than what we saw earlier in the week! With this serenity came rising jackpots. Lotto Texas’s “winless streak” continued as the prize climbed to $19 million. Meanwhile, Powerball’s prize rose to $80 million.

In an amazing twist of events, Mega Millions was host to a

four (yes, four) times! First things first, though: We need to discuss the
actual August 27th, 2019 drawing. Tuesday night didn’t produce an
Australia Play encore this time. However, there was a rising jackpot. No
grand prize winner meant a prize that climbed to $113 million.

only noticeable when the hood is popped open.
The August 20, 2019 Mega Millions drawing played host to an unusual “three-peat”. This term is normally reserved for whenever a Pattern plays three times in a row. So far this month, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has played everyTuesday! What moved it to claim Tuesdays in August is anyone’s guess. All we know is that the prize rose once more to $90 million.
