What’s with Powerball?

Greetings, Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here! Last night on September 18, 2023, it looked like Powerball was the most “powerful” game of the Lottery World since its jackpot had still been increasing for almost two months and was now up to $672 million and closing in on the $700 million mark. Let’s also not forget about its biggest record breaking $2 billion that was won in the middle of last Autumn. And now, the details.

LOTTO TEXAS

Lotto Texas had its 249th visit from the {4-1-1} Pattern, courtesy of winning numbers, 13, 26, 27, 32, 34, and 39. This Pattern has now played in 11.23% of all 2217 Lotto Texas drawings and last played on September 6, 2023.

Can You Play That Back Again?

Sometimes, you may not have heard something right or just want to make sure you have the right information. The proper thing to do is ask the speaker to repeat what was just said. The speaker may or may not be annoyed by the request. Luckily, lotteries don’t have it in them to be annoyed. Sometimes, they’ll repeat and, like Lotto Texas and Powerball this past Saturday night, they’ll repeat without being prompted.

September 16, 2023 was a night for both a Pattern encore and a playback! Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw generous gains in their jackpots, growing to $6.75 million and $638 million, respectively.

No Three-peat Beyond This Point

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat of September 15, 2023 wasn’t meant to be. However, Mega Millions had no plans to take it easy, certainly not on a Friday night! The drawing featured a bombardment of Combinations and a jackpot that rose to $183 million.

The commotion of five repeating Three-Number Combinations echoed throughout the night: 

Is a {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore in store for Tuesday night, or will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern sneak in through the back door?

Combo Enthusiasm

There are freedoms that come with being a lottery. No work or school, for starters. No worries about bills, debts, or any of those “people problems”. No, instead, lotteries have the potential to help people find ways out of bills, debts, and the insanity of the working world. Except, lotteries only do so unwillingly. They love it more when people don’t win the jackpot, or at least not quickly! Why else are Lotto Texas and Powerball coming into tonight’s analysis so full of themselves?

September 13, 2023 was the night for embracing the madness of repeating Combinations. If that weren’t enough, both Lotto Texas and Powerball watched their jackpots grow to $6.5 million and $596 million, respectively.

The Commitment to Jackpot Growth

There was talk in the lottery world Wednesday night. Word on the street was that a lottery that grew to just over $1 billion is now halfway there. Now mind, that lottery’s reset was less than two months ago, and already, the jackpot is $500 million. Truly, Powerball was committed to not having the jackpot reset, and that commitment paid off!

Meanwhile, Lotto Texas was also committed to jackpot growth. The jackpot had a way to go before reaching $1 billion, let alone $100 million. However, that didn’t stop the jackpot from reaching $5.75 million.

How will Lotto Texas and Powerball fare on Labor Day?

Stepping Over the September Line

Hard to believe that this wild year is two-thirds over, isn’t it? With the start of September comes the end of the summer in two rounds. The first round is Labor Day weekend, and although not as big as the Fourth of July or even Memorial Day, few would pass up one last day at the beach or a three-day weekend. For Mega Millions, this year’s Labor Day weekend means holding on to the feistiness of the summer spirit.

September 1, 2023 meant sticking with a “common” Pattern. However, the results were far from blasé. For starters, the jackpot grew to $101 million.

Rising Up and Knocking Down

Lotto Texas and Powerball were complete opposites in more ways than one! For starters, Wednesday night featured a common Pattern in Powerball and a not-so-common one in Lotto Texas. The results were also the opposite. As Powerball soared to $420 million, Lotto Texas was forced to reset to $5 million.

The Lotto Texas reset is where we begin.

A (Near) Playback Simmering in the Heat

We are truly living in interesting times. Only three years into the 2020s, and we’ve had to contend with a pandemic, inflation, and wars. This summer is, without a doubt, the hottest summer on record, and there are fears that this may be one of the coolest summers for the rest of our lives.

Meanwhile, the lottery world chugs along, blissfully unaware of the chaos plaguing the human one. Two jackpots worth over one billion dollars were claimed, and their respective lotteries are determined to soar to those heights again! Mega Millions, for example, can show dogged determination in the face of being forced to suddenly reset. Fortunately, that prospect is in the rear-view mirror!

The prospect of a jackpot reset was crushed Friday night, as the jackpot grew to $67 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern ruled the night August 25, 2025. With winning numbers 12, 23, 26, 31, 38 and MB 2, this Pattern has now played 256 times. The {2-2-1-1} Pattern has now played in 28.2% of the 909 Mega Millions drawing.

Will a {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore bring about another jackpot boost Tuesday night?

That Rebooting Feeling

For good or ill, reboots have been a running theme of a good part of the 21st century so far. In fact, they seem inevitable. Although not every movie and television show get hits with the reboot bug (though some would argue, “Give it time.”), lottery reboots are inevitable. What’s more is that they happen without notice. A Wednesday night in the middle of a sweltering August is just as good as any other time for a lottery reboot to strike.

It was Lotto Texas’s turn to face the reboot music, so to speak, as the jackpot was knocked back down to $5 million. Meanwhile, Powerball’s jackpot continued unbothered, growing to $264 million.
