The Mega Millions (Not) at the End of the Rainbow

St. Patrick’s Day comes but once a year. ‘Tis a festive day, with young and old alike donning green and catching parades. More adventurous types may fancy themselves some green beer. This year, people could try their luck with Mega Millions. For every night without a winner, the prize goes up. A larger prize means more financial freedom, more time to party, even! The catch? You must play. The other catch? You and Mega Millions need to see eye-to-eye on the numbers played. Seeing as the jackpot grew to $272 million, no such connection existed.

That Lotto Texas is a resilient one, yeah? After a jackpot reset six months ago, the jackpot has gone nowhere but up. That upward trajectory didn’t change Wednesday night!

Now, Lotto Texas wasn’t the only one that saw a rising jackpot! Powerball employed its own reset resistance method, and saw the jackpot rise to $78 million.

Powerball may have the smallest jackpot for now, but it won’t be long before it overtakes Lotto Texas. Perhaps Powerball will see another jackpot boost Saturday night. Or Lotto Texas will be forced to reset. Either way, Powerball comes out on top. We’ll just have to see which one takes shape!

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s February Fortitude

Winter blues? What winter blues? Winter has been extremely kind to both Lotto Texas and Powerball on the jackpot front.

Wednesday night was kind to both jackpots. The Lotto Texas prize grew to $44 million with little fanfare. Meanwhile, Powerball’s rowdiness with a double encore pushed the jackpot to $73 million.

The Valentine’s Day 2023 Combination Special

Valentine’s Day is one of those “love to hate” holidays for more people than you think. Both singles and couples alike dread reminders of their relationship status (not all, mind you). If that isn’t enough, then there are the displays of cards, candies, plushies, and of course, flowers. Yet not many people turn down flowers, doubly so if chocolate is involved! Not  many people turn down the opportunity to win millions of dollars, either.

Mega Millions may not shower us with love and attention, but there does exist an opportunity to win enough money to not only retire early, but open the floodgates for buying more lavish gifts. Of course, money can’t buy love, and Mega Millions must be in the giving spirit.

Generosity was absent on the Mega Millions side. Valentine’s Day, or technically, Valentine’s Night 2023 was about the continuation of jackpot growth. Once everything settled down, the prize grew to $84 million.

General Lottery Analysis

February 14th featured the 241st appearance of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern. The winning numbers were 23, 24, 35, 40, 43 and MB 1.

Grade A Lotteries

The “A” grade, source of both triumph and anxiety. More “A’s” on a report card means a higher grade point average (and happier parents). An “A” rating at a restaurant means the best food and high-quality service. For lotteries like Lotto Texas and Powerball, an A grade translates to, “Winning the jackpot is going to be a challenge.”

Lately, those who’ve played either or both lotteries have seen how their jackpots kept going up. After February 4, 2023, that didn’t change! No wild plays were needed to boost the Lotto Texas jackpot to $38 million. Meanwhile, Powerball, opting out of a Pattern streak, raised the jackpot to $747 million.
