Will the {3-2-1} Pattern streak continue for Lotto Texas, and will Powerball’s beast of a jackpot see another growth spurt Saturday night?

Lottery Party Mix: 2020 Edition

Chex Party Mix is one of many Christmastime snacks. For those unfamiliar with Chex, it’s a cereal from the U.S. Like Rice Krispies, it appears to be more popular as the key ingredient of a snack rather than part of a complete breakfast.

Now, a party mix wouldn’t be a mix without other goodies, would it? Chex can be mixed with all sorts of things, like pretzels, marshmallows, peanuts. It’s your choice what goes into the mix!

Lotto Texas and Powerball made their own party mix December 19, 2020. One lottery saw a Pattern three-peat, and another saw a similar spread. Throw in repeating Three and Four-Number Combinations and well sir, you got yourself a lottery party mix! To make it sweeter, both Lotto Texas and Powerball received a boost in their jackpots. The respective prizes increased to $6.5 million and $321 million.

The Powerball jackpot continues soaring to great heights, and the drawing before Christmas looks to be one for the ages. Question is, will it be the jackpots growing once more, or someone winning a coveted prize?

Jackpots Rise. Snow Falls

Nothing says “Winter” more than snow! Beautiful to look at, fun to play in, and looks like Christmas. But, if one isn’t careful, snow can be dangerous.

Lottery jackpots, like snow, are beautiful to look at. Who can resist winning millions of dollars and possibly retiring early? Lotteries themselves are fun to play, if played responsibly. Otherwise, a lottery can be a dangerous thing.

There wasn’t anything dangerous about either Lotto Texas or Powerball December 16, 2020. These lotteries not only embraced their most commonly played Patterns; they also embraced rising jackpots. The ever-dignified Lotto Texas saw its jackpot rise to $6.25 million. Meanwhile, Powerball relished in its climb to $304 million.

Saturday Night Boost

Saturday night is, without a doubt, the busiest night of the week. It’s the height of the weekend and whether it’s drinking or staying up to stream movies, it’s about letting loose. And of course, that extra energy needs to be out of your system before you start yet another work (or school) week!

The Lotto Texas and Powerball that we saw earlier in the week were absent December 12, 2020. Both lotteries were more active, and that energy boost also boosted their jackpots. Lotto Texas rose to $6 million and Powerball ascended to $287 million.

The Ghost of October 21st

What’s Christmas without at least one reference to A Christmas Carol? Whether you’ve seen the various adaptations or read it, you know about the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Believe it or not, this perennial Christmas classic is tied to today’s post.

Lotteries are constantly visited by the past; that’s part of their nature, and what makes Lottery Trend possible. What made December 5, 2020 interesting was the prominence of the number 21. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball were visited (haunted?) by the ghost of October 21. The visitation generated a boost to both their jackpots! Lotto Texas rose to $5.5 million and Powerball’s prize climbed to $262 million.

Will next week be one where Pattern streaks and similar spreads dominate, or will the lotteries have other plans?

No Room for Pattern Encores

December has started, and the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone (or frozen). Most everyone has gone back to work and school, though with another holiday right around the corner, it’s easy to stay in a festive mood! Lotteries get in the holiday mood with Australia Plays, Pattern streaks, and playbacks, just to name a few things.

Mega Millions had the idea of starting the month with a Pattern streak. Lotto Texas and Powerball had other ideas. Pattern encores were absent, but they weren’t needed to boost the jackpots. With no one able to pick the six winning numbers in either lottery, their respective jackpots rose to $5.25 million and $243 million.

A {3-2-1} Kind of Night

3, 2, 1. These are the last numbers in a countdown. In the lottery world, they hold a special significance, for they make up a Pattern. Its presence, though, isn’t uniform. Lotto Texas is visited by this Pattern the most and doesn’t get nearly as much play in Powerball (or Mega Millions).

But, on November 21, 2020, the {3-2-1} Pattern put in double time and paid a visit to both Lotto Texas and Powerball! With that, the jackpots grew once more. Lotto Texas grew to $8.75M and Powerball crossed $200 million ($202 million).

Revenge of the Repeating Four-Number Combinations

Today’s Lottery Binge is brought to you by repeating Four-Number Combinations. Oh sure, they tend to happen in Lotto Texas, but what happens if at least one Four-Number Combination is spotted in Powerball? You get bombarded, that’s what!

That’s not all that happened November 14, 2020, either. No one was able to match the six magic numbers in either Lotto Texas or Powerball. Naturally, their respective jackpots climbed to $8.25 million and $179 million.

The Tale of the Haunted Lotteries

The calendar says Halloween is over, but on November 4, 2020, Halloween stuck around for Lotto Texas and Powerball!

Of the 531 Powerball drawings, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has played in 27.9% of them.

The [1-2-2-1] General Order, now with 46 appearances, has played in 31.1% of the 148 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 531 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 8.66% of the time.

Now with eight appearances, the 0 1 2 2 0 1 Specific Order has played in 17.4% of the 46 drawings where the General Order was [1-2-2-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 5.41% of the 148 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.51% of all 531 drawings.

The ghost of Halloween wasn’t as powerful in Powerball. Although the Pattern made an encore, the General Order and Specific Order did not. However, these two were joined at the hip, for the [1-2-2-1] Pattern and the 0 1 2 2 0 1 Specific Order were last seen October 3, 2020.

Three-Number Combinations  

Repeating Three-Number Combinations were absent Wednesday night.

Will the {3-2-1} and {2-2-1-1} Pattern stick around for Saturday night, or will they move on to the next world (at least until they play again)?

Phantom Playback

Another Halloween has come and gone (and so has Daylight Savings Time). Neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball saw Pattern repeats. Instead, they brought out the repeating Four-Number and Three-Number Combinations with chilling effect. Even more chilling was that one of these lotteries saw a playback! Players were in for a treat as the jackpots climbed to $7.25 million and $137 million, respectively.
