The sweetest treat is hard to grab. Millions seek it, spend money
even, but few obtain it.
The sweet treat known as Mega Millions made its rounds once
again Tuesday night. That delectable jackpot was sought by many and won by none.
The aftermath was a jackpot that grew to $118 million.

Today’s B-movie title is brought to you by the Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings of October 23, 2019.
Lotteries are well aware that humans hunt for them. Once caught,
they have no choice but to give up their prizes. The humans celebrate with
lavish (early) retirement parties and the lotteries reset. Capture is
inevitable, “But why make it easy for them?” they think.
This is where the bag of tricks come out and the players get
thwarted. The method employed Wednesday night was a callback to a very
recent date. Lotto Texas ascended to $7 million and Powerball sat high and dry
at $130 million up for grabs.

The Pattern streak fish were biting the night of October 16, 2019. Lotto Texas was able to catch one, and that had the effect of raising the jackpot to $6.5 million.
Powerball wasn’t able to catch this fish. Instead, it opted
for a playback fake-out, which kept players from winning the prize here as
well. This jackpot rose to $110 million.

There were also two repeating Three-Number Combinations:
A new month means new opportunities to win big prizes. Or, if the results of the October 5, 2019 Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings are anything to go by, watch those opportunities slip away. Having a setback on your early retirement plans is a sore spot to be sure but there is a silver lining to all this. The next time around, the pot will be larger!
Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots rose to $5.75 million
and $80 million, respectively, all thanks to several callbacks to the recently

encores makes itself present Wednesday night.
A five-month streak of no winners is a tough act to follow, and September 28th, 2019 was a night of resting and regaining composure. The main takeaway was that no one could claim the grand prize in either Lotto Texas or Powerball. Their respective jackpots rose to $5.25 million and $60 million.

It looks like October is off to a quiet start but that doesn’t
mean the month will stay that way. This was the month that produced beastly
jackpots after all!
Another summer came and went with the September 20, 2019 Mega Millions drawing. However, this lottery wasn’t ready to embrace autumn! Instead of cheering on the shorter days and (eventual) cooler weather on the horizon, it held strong on the crazy-large jackpot front. What all did Mega Millions do to launch its grand prize towards $227 million?

Lottery jackpots have their own cycle. They rise, get claimed, then reset, and the cycle repeats ad infinitum. This summer has seen one lottery’s jackpot get claimedtwice and another that has kept rising full steam ahead. Surprisingly, it has been Powerball with the claimed prizes, and Lotto Texas flirting with unleashing a beast!
That trend continued August 24, 2019. Now, $18 million doesn’t seem that much compared to either Mega Millions or Powerball (both reset at $40 million) but (a) this is the largest that Lotto Texas has been in a while and (b) you wouldn’t really turn down that money if you won it (be honest!). Powerball’s jackpot rose graciously to $60 million.

August is winding down. That means full-on school mode and hopefully cooler temperatures on the horizon. Will Lotto Texas and Powerball follow suit with a cool down, or will the jackpot rise continue?
August isn’t
so boring after all. For Lotto Texas especially, it’s been one hell of a ride!
Nothing could bring it down and the aftermath was a jackpot that leapt upwards
to $17.25 million.
Now, Lotto Texas wasn’t the only one wild and out August 21, 2019. Powerball gained the courage to do something quite daring. This risk paid off for it, as players failed to pick all six winning numbers. The prize climbed to $50 million as a result.
