Those Ridiculous(ly Loveable) Lotteries

Two months. Would you believe that it took Powerball two months to have a jackpot worth almost one billion dollars?! Powerball’s persistence and resilience paid off since that fateful evening in July. As we neared September’s end, the jackpot had grown to $925 million.

What of Lotto Texas? Although it wasn’t as willing to entertain a ridiculously large jackpot in a (near) ridiculously short time, there was a Pattern encore. That encore was enough to grow the jackpot to $8 million.

Tropical Storm Powerball

Greetings Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here. Last night on September 25, 2023, while the country—generally the East Coast— continued to deal with tropical storms and hurricanes, the Lottery World experienced a storm of its own, in the form of Powerball’s jackpot that increased up to Category 835–$835 million, that is!

So far this year, Powerball’s been very powerful when it comes to billion-dollar jackpots. If this keeps up, Powerball could be at a billion dollars again by the beginning of October. And it’s hard to tell what will happen on Halloween. And let’s all pray for those people on the East Coast—including Nova Scotia, Canada—who have to deal with the brunt of the strong storms this hurricane season so far. This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe!

“Fall”-ing for Lotteries

To all our readers in the Northern Hemisphere, that wonderful season known as fall began September 23rd at 6:50 AM GMT. However, depending on where you live, Mother Nature still hasn’t let go of summer. As many fall lovers in those regions count down the days when they can whip out the sweaters and truly embrace the pumpkin spice, there’s no heat relief in either Lotto Texas or Powerball. In fact, a Saturday night is prime time to turn things up!

This past Saturday night was a bit quieter on the “crazy plays” front. No Australia Plays coming back like boomerangs, let alone any Pattern encores. Instead, the beast of a jackpot in Powerball grew even larger, stopping at a towering $785 million. Meanwhile, Lotto Texas’s jackpot rose to a respectable $7.5 million.

Another summer has come and gone, and Mega Millions was the lottery to end it off. After resting up Tuesday night, this lottery came back pumped up and ready to dish out the repeating Combinations! The volley of repeating Combinations, and a jackpot that grew to $230 million, was all thanks to a Pattern that doesn’t get much play in Mega Millions.

Powerball: Lotto Texas Times 100

When you’ve said, “It’s like <insert whatever> times 100”, you meant that <insert whatever> is like <some other thing> is much better, or much worse. For example, if someone said a show is like “Game of Thrones: Season 8” times 100, then (s)he’s likely saying it’s a terrible show. No offense to anyone who liked “Game of Thrones: Season 8” of course. Sometimes, <insert whatever> times 100 is quite literal. When numbers are involved, like with Wednesday night’s Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings, it most certainly is literal.

September 20, 2023 was a night to remember, for sure. By the combined powers of both an Australia Play and an uncommon Pattern, the Lotto Texas and Powerball prizes grew to $7.25 million and $725 million, respectively. Yes, the Powerball prize was 100 times larger than Lotto Texas’s!

A Different Kind of Shower

August is known for being hot, almost ridiculously so, and the month when many students return to school. This month is also known for another phenomenon: meteor showers. If you look at the right part of the sky, on the right night at the right time, you can see them streak across the sky. Given that so many of us contend with light pollution, we’ll have to deal with another type of shower, the shower of repeating Combinations. Saturday night was prime viewing!

The night of August 26, 2023 was a night for both repeating Combinations and rising jackpots. Lotto Texas grew graciously to $ 6 million. Powerball, powered by a near playback, grew to $363 million.

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.

Lotto Texas
