Blazing Hot Lotteries

Summer is coming, which means rising temperatures are ahead. Although we like to kick things off with Memorial Day, the true start of the season is on the Summer Solstice, which falls on either June 20th or the 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. And yet, nature cares not about what the calendar says. Blazing hot temperatures can and have occurred before the Solstice!

It was June 16, 2021 that Lotto Texas and Powerball got caught in a heatwave. Nothing record-breaking (yet?), but like the temperatures outside, the jackpots rose. Lotto Texas’s jackpot climbed to $5.75 million, and Powerball’s ascended to $52 million.

Mega Millions and the Summer Climb

When a lottery jackpot resets, one phrase comes to mind: “There’s nowhere else to go but up!” Earlier in the week, Mega Millions was forced to reset after a visit from the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. Rather than sulk and lie about on Friday night, this lottery dusted itself off and bumped the jackpot up to $22 million.

Will the jackpot continue to climb Tuesday night, or will it get nudged back down again?

Mega Millions and the Combination Avalanche

Another Memorial Day and another May have come and gone. Mega Millions took the opportunity to start June off with a bang, and that it did! Instead of a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat, this lottery had other plans. Recently, Mega Millions adapted a “trick” that allows for four repeating Three-Number Combinations without the use of a repeating Four-Number Combination! This “trick” was employed in the June 1, 2021 drawing as a side effect of the three-peat blocking Pattern. That Pattern also bumped the jackpot to $45 million.

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 185th appearance with 7, 11, 33, 58, 63 and MB 23.

Preparing for June: Lotto Texas and Powerball Style

Holiday weekends are great for hanging out with friends and family, catching up on sleep (and streaming), and trying out new things. That extra time off is also a potentially overlooked opportunity to prepare for the future. Lotto Texas and Powerball concentrated on the latter May 29, 2021. June is only a few days away, and the lotteries believed it was better to head into the new month with profound momentum, all thanks to the power of rising jackpots. Lotto Texas welcomed a boost to $18.75 million with open arms, and Powerball jumped to $268 million.

The Spreading Power of Jackpots

Special thanks to guest blogger Romulun Harris for filling in on Saturday!

The Mega Millions jackpot was the talk of the lottery world. For three months, that oak tree was nurtured by specific Patterns and the frustration of determined players. That frustration came to an end this past Friday when a Pennsylvanian player cut the mighty tree down.

As one tree fell, two others stood tall. May 22, 2021 was a busy night for Lotto Texas and Powerball. A Pattern three-peat and a similar spread were two stand-out developments. These fed into the jackpots rising once again. Lotto Texas jumped to $17.5 million, and Powerball expanded to $236 million.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

Lotto Texas fell in love with the number 2, in a way. The 200th appearance of the {4-2} Pattern was made possible by winning numbers 4, 12, 25, 30, 31 and 33.

Similar Spread

The 200th appearance of an uncommonly seen Pattern was a momentous occurrence after all. Perhaps it was fitting to throw in a similar spread as well! Saturday night’s spread was 08:13:05:01:02. This spread is similar to the one featured in the September 19, 2001 drawing. The winning numbers for that night were 8, 13, 15, 28, 29 and 37 with a spread of 05:02:13:01:08. Remember: the differences between numbers are the same, though not so for the order of the numbers.

The Rising Jackpot Bonanza: Lotto Texas and Powerball Edition

Something is spreading throughout the lottery world. Mega Millions has been in its grip for months, and Lotto Texas and Powerball haven’t shown any signs of resistance themselves as of late. This is the power of rising jackpots. With the school year wrapping up, the lotteries barrel through May full steam ahead, ready to kick off those hotter, sunnier days.

This past Saturday was something of an anomaly. Repeating Five-Number Combinations and similar spreads often don’t occur on the same night. Although such phenomena were absent May 19, 2021, Lotto Texas and Powerball didn’t disappoint! Even with its newfound assertiveness, Lotto Texas retained its classiness, ascending gracefully to $17 million. Powerball did its own thing and jumped to an impressive $218 million.

Mega Millions: Firmly Planted

Mega Millions tends to its mighty oak with great care, knowing that it takes time for an acorn to sprout into a massive tree. Said tree must be protected from anything that can cause it harm.

Three months ago, in the middle of a devastatingly cold week, a $20 million acorn fell from a prior Mega Millions. Over time, the jackpot grew, eventually surpassing the $96 million that had been won way back when. The May 18, 2021 drawing saw the jackpot dig its roots even deeper and surpass the half-billion-dollar mark! When all was said and done, the prize had grown to $515 million.

How to Nurture Your Mighty Mega Millions Jackpot

Nearly three months have passed since the Mega Millions jackpot was claimed. Over that time, we’ve watched the jackpot grow from a tiny acorn to a mighty oak.
