Two kinds of streaks were present Saturday night: Pattern and jackpot. Lotto Texas, still in shock at how large the jackpot has grown, had two! Both the {3-2-1} Pattern and the $33.5 million jackpot proved that neither streak were going away anytime soon. Although Powerball didn’t see a Pattern streak, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore gave the jackpot a generous boost to $502 million.

Roadblocks, setbacks, whatever you want to call them, are a fact of live. We’ve all had projects that didn’t go according to plan, or things that didn’t fall into place the way we wanted them to. For lotteries, it’s a bit more complicated. Sure, they want people to win their prizes, but not too soon. Take Lotto Texas and Powerball for example. According to them, two , three, or even four months is “too soon”.
As of the January 18, 2023 drawing, Mega Millions remained the smallest of the jackpots. Meanwhile, Lotto Texas and Powerball continued their “untouchable” jackpot streaks. As Lotto Texas, with a $33 million prize, wondered how it still had a larger jackpot than Mega Millions (for now), Powerball was pleased as punch having the largest prize at $473 million.

Of course, Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots will have their date with the reset slap. Will Monday night buy them more time, or will that be the night when they come tumbling down?
Some of the best songs take a while to write. Mega Millions has been working on one since mid-October. Nearly three months later, that hard work paid off.

Three-Number Combinations
Mega Millions thought, “Repeating Three-Number Combinations? Who needs those when the jackpot is over a billion dollars? Besides, the playback was plenty.”
Does next week mean the jackpot will continue to rise, or will it sing its swan song?
A new year means new beginnings, right? Well, yes and no. “Yes” from the angle of starting a new hobby or kicking a bad habit, but those are easier said than done. Old habits are hard to break, and procrastinating is ever so tempting! For Lotto Texas and Powerball, 2023 has meant one thing so far: Let those jackpots rise.
Leaving off from last year, these lotteries’ jackpots continued to gain momentum Monday night. The night of January 4, 2023 told a similar story. No one could stop the Lotto Texas jackpot from rising to $28.75 million and Powerball’s rising to $325 million.

Four-Number Combination Repeat(s)
And now for the surprise you’ve been waiting for. A Four-Number Combination repeat occurred:
The last four of the Three-Number Combination Repeat are fallouts from the Four-Number Combination Repeat. Now that’s what I call four calling birds!
This holiday season so far has been filled with surprises—Australia Plays, fallouts, increasing jackpots, Pattern streaks, and much more! We can expect possibly more as we head into 2023. This is Romulun Harris signing off. Happy Holidays and stay safe!
And so, we’ve finally arrived. Merry Christmas, everyone! Stay warm and be kind to one another. For anyone reading from the Southern Hemisphere, stay cool, stay hydrated, and be kind to one another.
Remember back when you were a kid and your parents told you to eat your vegetables before dessert? Strangely, Christmas Eve is somewhat like that. Christmas is the holiday of holidays, religious connotations aside. To ease our minds off the desire to open presents early, Christmas specials and movies seem to do the trick. Even better if those are marathons! This year, those who were looking for other Christmas entertainment took part in either Lotto Texas or Powerball, hoping for extremely good fortunes before Christmas. The problem is that these lotteries didn’t want to share.
Christmas Eve 2022 would be a night of two lotteries doing all they could to prevent their prizes from being won. No grand plays were needed to send the Lotto Texas jackpot to $24.5 million and Powerball’s to $201 million.
