Lotto Texas and Powerball Get Out and Go

It’s that time of year again! Summer is right around the corner, and with all that’s happened these past few months, everyone is itching to get back to some sense of “normalcy”. The easing of stay-at-home orders is scratching that itch, and what went down May 16, 2020 showed that humans weren’t the only ones who can’t bear to be cooped up for long!

Lotto Texas and Powerball put on their masks and went out and about. All that pent-up energy led to one lottery coming this close to seeing a playback, while another saw a Pattern encore and a similar spread. There were no grand prize winners produced in this madness, and the jackpots climbed once again. Lotto Texas’s jackpot rose to $16.25 million while Powerball’s jumped to $95 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Fresh from this past Wednesday, the {3-2-1} Pattern came back for an encore. With winning numbers 2, 17, 31, 33, 34 and 37, this Pattern made its 932nd appearance.

There have now been 1760 Lotto Texas drawings, and this Pattern has now played 53% of the time.

Now with 154 appearances, the 2 3 1 Specific Order has played in 16.5% of the 932 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 1760 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 8.75% of the time. We last saw the 2 3 1 Specific Order in the April 8, 2020 drawing.

Similar Spread

Saturday’s numbers had the spread of 15:14:02:01:03. This spread is similar to the one that was seen almost seven years ago in the June 8, 2013 drawing. That night, the winning numbers were 14, 28, 29, 44, 46 and 49. The spread was 14:01:15:02:03.

It’s best to remember that when dealing with similar spreads that despite the differences between played numbers being the same, the order in which the numbers played on those nights was different.

Four-Number Combination(s)

Lotto Texas had enough room for three repeating Four-Number Combinations:

  • 2, 17, 33, 37 (Debuted June 5, 2002)
  • 31, 33, 34, 37 (Debuted October 6, 2010)
  • 2, 31, 33, 34 (Debuted November 6, 2002)

With the onward march to summer, will the jackpots continue their rise? Is Lotto Texas gearing up for another {3-2-1} Pattern streak?

Lotto Texas and Powerball Get Their Climb On

No, neither lottery saw a Pattern encore. After what happened this past Saturday, it may be a while yet before we see streaks. Regardless, the results of May 13, 2020 showed that one doesn’t need Pattern streaks to see an increase in the grand prize! With no one able to pick the six winning numbers in either Lotto Texas or Powerball, their respective jackpots rose to $16 million and $86 million.

May the Pattern Streaks Be With You

Love it or hate it, Star Wars has had lasting appeal. Movies, toys, spin-offs, cartoons and more have kept the franchise in our collective conscious for at least four decades.

What does Star Wars have to do with today’s post, you ask? Aside from the title being a (late) nod to Star Wars Day, lotteries, too, have that appeal. Striking it big just by picking the six winning numbers. What’s not to love about that? Except, it’s not as easy as it sounds, and lotteries have a way of thwarting players, and the most appealing method depends on a lottery’s mood.

On May 6, 2020, we saw that Pattern streaks were very appealing to both Lotto Texas and Powerball! As their flaming hot streaks continued, their jackpots rose to $15 million and $68 million, respectively.

Some Streaks are Stronger Than Others

Lotto Texas, Mega Millions and Powerball. One of these lotteries was not like the others these past couple of days. During that time, we saw appearances from the most commonly seen Patterns, solidifying the streak in one lottery and setting one up for the other. Those lotteries also saw their jackpots rise to $14.25 million and $59 million.

Those lotteries were Lotto Texas and Powerball, respectively.

The End-of-April Encore Doubleheader

In yesterday’s blog post, we analyzed the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore in Mega Millions, and the resulting aftermath. Apparently, the urge to end the month with an encore, and with the most commonly seen Pattern no less, was contagious! Not only did Lotto Texas and Powerball end April with Pattern encores, one such encore was a three-peat! With no grand prize winners to be had, the jackpot for Lotto Texas rose to $13.75 million. Powerball, now used to its “slimmer” state, saw its jackpot rise to $51 million.

Pushing Ever Upward

Lotteries are resilient beasts. Little if anything can stop them and their jackpots grow wherever there’s an open space. Only having at least one player choose all six winning numbers acts as a wall to uncontrollable growth.

April 25, 2020 was a testament to that resilient nature. With no grand prize winners, the jackpots naturally continued their climb. Lotto Texas, ever dignified, rose to $13.25 million. Meanwhile, Powerball rose to $43 million.

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.

A Not-so-Taxing Wednesday

April 15 is traditionally Tax Day in the U.S. All those who haven’t filed their taxes yet can breathe a sigh of relief, as this year’s Tax Day is July 15.

With one lottery embracing a payback and both lotteries forming an attachment to this past January, the night was anything but quiet! No grand prize winners meant rising jackpots. Lotto Texas climbed to $12 million and Powerball crossed over to $24 million. Can you believe the Lotto Texas jackpot is now worth half that of Powerball’s?

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.

Will the {3-2-1} Pattern get a Pattern streak going and will Powerball continue to adjust to smaller jackpot rises?

Twice as Strong, Half as High

Something odd happened the night of April 8, 2020. Thanks to an encore from the {3-2-1} Pattern and a little extra help from the similar spread, the Lotto Texas jackpot rose to $11 million. That’s more than half that of Powerball’s! No, that wasn’t a typo.

An intrepid player from New Jersey picked all six numbers and won the $193 million prize. Naturally, the jackpot reset itself. The floor of Powerball jackpots was once $40 million, but after this past Wednesday night, the new reset point became $20 million.
