Crying Out for Playbacks

The seasons weren’t the only things that changed June 20, 2020. Lotto Texas and Powerball, having once both shared a love of the {3-2-1} Pattern, went their separate ways. The former stuck with the Pattern, and with a playback, no less. Meanwhile, the latter opted for a different Pattern. Taking different approaches led to a $22.75 million jackpot for Lotto Texas and $33 million for Powerball.

Is a playback three-peat in the cards for Lotto Texas Wednesday night?

The Fashionable {3-2-1} Pattern

The {3-2-1} Pattern is popular in Lotto Texas; it wouldn’t be the most commonly seen Pattern otherwise! But, did you know that this Pattern is also popular with both Mega Millions and Powerball?

Truthfully, the Pattern isn’t as prevalent in those lotteries. However, it made an (encore) appearance in Mega Millions this past Tuesday, and it showed up in both Lotto Texas and Powerball June 17, 2020. The {3-2-1} Pattern not only proved popular for all three lotteries so far this week, it had jackpot boosting powers! Lotto Texas stood strong with a boost to $22 million. Powerball did a happy dance as its jackpot grew to $25 million.

Will the {3-2-1} Pattern retain its popularity with Lotto Texas and Powerball Saturday night?

A Page Out of the Lotto Texas Playbook

Yes, it’s Wednesday and yes, this post is about Mega Millions. After watching Powerball get taken down before it could get back up, it was time for a different approach. The June 16, 2020 Mega Millions drawing featured encores for both the {3-2-1} Pattern and the [2-3-1] General Order! What with imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, Mega Millions took a page from the Lotto Texas playbook. This boosted the jackpot to $26 million.

Borrowing from another lottery’s playbook paid off! Will this {3-2-1} Pattern be bold enough to go for a three-peat in Friday night’s drawing?

Attention-Seeking Mega Millions

It wasn’t that long ago that a monster-sized jackpot was won in Mega Millions. Sometime between then and the June 12, 2020 drawing, Lotto Texas had a brief moment where it had the largest jackpot. The keyword here is “had”. What about Powerball, you ask? It too was recently cut down to size and was on the way to building its jackpot back up, only to be claimed swiftly. With no one able to pick all six numbers, and with a little help from an uncommonly seen Pattern (and the accompanying madness), Mega Millions reigned supreme with a jackpot that climbed to $22 million.

Will the Mega Millions jackpot rise again Tuesday night, or will it too hit the reset button?

Lotto Texas Leads the Pack

Hell froze over June 10, 2020. In a Lottery Binge first, Lotto Texas (that wasn’t a typo) possessed the largest jackpot! With no one able to pick the correct six numbers, the prize ascended to $21 million.

Powerball got whacked upside the head by an enormous block of cheese. A Wisconsinite snatched the prize before Powerball could say, “Eh?” Naturally, the prize reset itself to $20 million.

Lotto Texas is currently king of the hill, jackpot-wise. We will see on Saturday night if it can keep its crown for a little longer or if it will be dethroned. It would be wise for Lotto Texas to know that the bigger they come, the harder they fall!

No {3-2-1} Patterns Are Alike

There are a few Patterns shared between Mega Millions, Lotto Texas, and Powerball. The {3-2-1} Pattern is one of them, though they may as well inhabit other universes. Case in point, the {3-2-1} Pattern is the reigning champion in Lotto Texas, showing up in over half of that lottery’s drawings. In Mega Millions, this Pattern must often fight to be seen.

The {3-2-1} Pattern got its wish June 5, 2020. This Pattern took it upon itself to produce a playback. That is, the Pattern, General Order, and Specific Order share a date when they previously played. There was also a treat for those of you who love monster-sized jackpots. With help from this rarely seen Pattern (in Mega Millions, anyway), the prize had another growth spurt and now stands at $410 million!

Although this {3-2-1} Pattern isn’t likely to make an encore, will it be bold (read: crazy) enough to do it Tuesday night? And, will it make the jackpot rise once again?

The Devilishly Delicious Delirium of a Double Encore

There are no words to describe what happened the night of June 3, 2020. Powerball’s jackpot was brought down to size by a lone winner from West Virginia. This, along with encores from both Lotto Texas’s Pattern and Specific Order, caused a disturbance the likes of which had never been seen before. Because the Lotto Texas jackpot rose to $19.5 million and the Powerball jackpot reset to $20 million, there is now only a $500,000 difference between them!

Even after what happened this past Wednesday night, it isn’t likely that Lotto Texas’s jackpot will surpass Powerball’s. Getting back to the present, it appears that both lotteries played their most commonly seen Patterns. Will Saturday night produce encores for either the {3-2-1} Pattern or the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern?

The Jackpot Cornucopia

Lotto Texas and Powerball made it to the end of May. If you were itching for Pattern encores for May 30, 2020, then there were none to be had. Instead, something grander occurred. The jackpots for both lotteries rose once more! A $18.75 million prize in Lotto Texas and a $135 million prize in Powerball were nothing to sneeze at.

The Iron Grip of the {3-2-1} Pattern

The {3-2-1} Pattern reigned supreme May 23, 2020. There was, in fact, a {3-2-1} Pattern three-peat in Lotto Texas. However, that wasn’t enough to satiate this Pattern’s appetite. That’s right: the {3-2-1} Pattern also showed up in Powerball! A Pattern’s double appearance did nothing to bring the jackpots down. If anything, that made them grow even more! Lotto Texas grew to $17.5 million and Powerball ballooned to $114 million.

The Grand {3-2-1} Pattern Encore

So, the {3-2-1} Pattern made an encore in Lotto Texas. Big deal. Why yes, it was a big deal!

The {3-2-1} Pattern encore of May 20, 2020 solidified this Pattern as the King of Lotto Texas. Furthermore, this encore produced a repeating Five-Number Combination (and all that it implies) and fueled this lottery’s love of a growing jackpot. This normally unassuming lottery saw its grand prize rise to $17.25 million.

Powerball didn’t ruffle any feathers. However, it too saw its jackpot climb, reaching $104 million.
