To everyone reading from the U.S. or Canada: Did you remember to spring forward?

Spring is on the horizon! The days are getting longer, Spring Break is here, and the wind is starting to pick up (perfect kite-flying weather!). With the transitioning of seasons, that means storms are brewing. And it just so happens that lotteries have their own storms. Rather than being the victims of such, they generate them.
Lotto Texas and Powerball got caught up in a whirlwind of their own making. March 13, 2021 was a night of not one, but two Pattern encores! Those encores granted a boost to their jackpots in the week ahead. Lotto Texas rose to $7.25 million, and Powerball climbed to $184 million.

Three-Number Combinations

Yes, you read that right. Thang! Lotteries may just be made up of a set of numbers that humans draw, but sometimes you have to wonder if they’ve got minds of their own. A Pattern streak, or better yet, a Pattern that’s rarely played? They just do it.
But what happens when both Lotto Texas and Powerball gift the world with repeating Four and Three-Number Combinations, respectively? The answer, of course, is that “It depends”, but for March 10, 2021, it meant the dreams of (early) retirement being deferred for millions. The plus side in all this is that Lotto Texas graciously climbed to $7 million, and Powerball jumped to $169 million.

Will Wednesday night mean the return of the Australia Play and/or the {2-2-1-1} Pattern?
It was 19 days ago that Mega Millions had a beast of a jackpot. The beast was struck down, and was forced to reset, naturally. Nearly three weeks have passed, and Mega Millions was as healthy as ever! No one was able to obtain the grand prize, which gave the jackpot a boost to $82 million.

It’ll be a while yet before we see another monster jackpot in Mega Millions. In the meantime, let’s focus on the immediate future, like the fate of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern for example. Will the Pattern make an encore Friday night?
The playback buzz was in the air this past Wednesday night. Its presence was certainly felt in Lotto Texas and although it grabbed a hold of Powerball, it didn’t stick the landing. The only thing these lotteries had in common February 3, 2021 was rising jackpots. These rose to $6 million and $30 million, respectively.

Three-Number Combinations
Even though a playback wasn’t in the cards for Powerball, there was in fact a trio of repeating Three-Number Combinations!
In case you haven’t heard, the beastly Mega Millions jackpot was struck down this past Friday. Someone from Michigan came out very wealthy!
The natural order, of course, is for the jackpot to reset. It’s also the natural order for the jackpot to climb back up and get knocked down again, as it were.
After being dealt a powerful blow, Mega Millions had the strength to get back up again. With none of the players picking the six winning numbers, the prize grew to $25 million. Not nearly as high as one billion dollars, but it’s definitely a hearty prize!
General Lottery Analysis

Three-Number Combinations
Mega Millions had enough energy for a duo of repeating Three-Number Combinations!
It happened again! If you threw your hat in the ring January 12, 2021, there’s a good chance you walked away empty-handed. The Mega Millions jackpot has been living off the agony of defeated players and just received another helping. With none of the six winning numbers picked, the grand prize grew to $750 million. That’s three-quarter billion dollars!

Three-Number Combinations
Mega Millions rubbed it in even more with a double dose of repeating Three-Number Combinations:
The word “ridiculous” doesn’t usually have good connotations. It’s used to describe something silly, crazy, deranged, even. After all that’s happened this week, we need something ridiculous. The good kind.
Now, the good kind of ridiculous is entertaining and fun, for example “Spongebob Squarepants” or “The Three Stooges”, though your mileage may vary. This blog focuses on something entertaining, fun, and is something that we can have a say in. This ridiculous is Mega Millions and its ridiculously large jackpot!
There were no signs of the jackpot’s growth getting crushed. In fact, the prize grew by leaps and bounds! Having thwarted the players once again, Mega Millions decided $600 million would be a good stop point. For now.

It’s almost guaranteed that the jackpot will rise again, just before the official drawing Tuesday night. Question is, will the Mega Millions jackpot meet its maker, or will it continue to grow?
January 6, 2021 favored those who live for rising jackpots. Lotto Texas, for one, was ever the trooper. Although its jackpot is nowhere near the astronomical heights of its brethren, the prize grew to a respectable $7.75 million.
Powerball was the one to look out for. Conditions over the past few months have been favorable towards jackpot growth. Said conditions continued Wednesday night as the players’ efforts to become crazy rich were thwarted yet again. This monster of a prize grew to $470 million.
