Pent-Up Lottery Energy

For some people, being made to stay home has been an opportunity to catch up on books they’ve been meaning to read, shows and movies they’ve been meaning to watch, and not worry too much about appearance. But, even the most “homebodiest” of homebodies doesn’t want to stay at home for too long. The longer you’re homebound, the more pent-up energy and without a proper outlet, the results can be explosive.

Thankfully, Lotto Texas and Powerball found a release valve! The night of April 18, 2020 was a night of repeating Combinations doubles and a surge in the jackpots. Well, more like a steady growth. The prize rose to $12.25 million in Lotto Texas and $29 million in Powerball.

Mega Millions’ Nostalgia Pangs

Two months—that’s roughly sixty days. That may not sound like a long time, but that’s long enough for big changes to occur. Sometimes, the changes are so sudden that we want to ease into that brave new world or reminisce about the “good ol’ days”. Normally, said days are from a past long gone, but recent events have many of us pining for life as it was back in February.

The April 14, 2020 Mega Millions drawing was a retrospective of Februarys past. That trip down memory lane spawned a repeating Three-Number Combination and a jackpot that bumped up to $159 million.

Saturday Night Retreat

Stressful times call for stress relievers. Once upon a time, people went out on Saturday nights. Malls, arcades, movie theaters, and restaurants were filled with individuals of all ages and from all walks of life looking to get out of the house and forget about their troubles for a few hours. What with all these places closed, and restaurants open only for delivery or carryout, destressing involves staying home and getting creative.

Lotto Texas and Powerball followed suit April 11, 2020. After a wild Wednesday, the lotteries opted to stay home and chill. There was only enough energy for a {3-2-1} Pattern three-peat and a jackpot rise to $11.5 million in Lotto Texas. Meanwhile, Powerball got *this* close to a playback, though its jackpot did inch up to $22 million.

Patterns That Start with “3”

Considering that Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings took place April 4, 2020, it would’ve been fitting to see one or both lotteries feature Patterns that start with “4”. Instead, both lotteries opted for Patterns that started with “3”. That move pushed the prize to $10.75 million in Lotto Texas and $190 million in Powerball.

Change of Seasons, Change of Patterns

Seasons have a set time when they appear and a set time when they leave. They cycle through the year, and even when one season “intrudes” on another, they generally respect each other.

Lotteries are much less cordial. Patterns and wild plays come and go as they please. An occasional Pattern streak may occur, but the order of things is “madness”.

March 4, 2020 saw one Pattern stick by its lottery and another went for something different. Both choices sent the jackpots upward. Lotto Texas settled into a nice $8.5 million and Powerball reached the $100 million benchmark.

Oh, wait. It’s not the end?! There’s still one more day? Okay, then.

The year 2020 is part of that exclusive “leap year club”, and Mega Millions did not have the honor of ending February this year. In fact, this past Friday’s drawing was anything but wild or crazy. The biggest development of the night was a jackpot hike to $65 million.

Things certainly did change for Mega Millions this past Friday. Even though a Pattern encore wasn’t in the cards, there was a visit from a recent “break-up”. Well, that and the prize money increased to $55 million.

Playback and the Encore: A Lottery Love Story

A Heartfelt {3-1-1-1}

Valentine’s Day coincided with Mega Millions this year. Candy, cards, and texts were just a few ways to proclaim love. Another, albeit riskier enterprise, was playing Mega Millions. After all, the prize money was nothing to sneeze at and you and yours would be set for ages to come!

Except, Mega Millions was a heartbreaker Friday night. Maybe it didn’t reciprocate the love or just wasn’t ready to go out, but whatever the case, the jackpot climbed to $45 million.
