A Spread Here and a Debut There

Lotto Texas and Powerball took things down a notch Saturday night. For starters, the former didn’t see an Australia Play return, and the latter didn’t go as crazy on the repeating Three-Number Combinations as it did last time. Nevertheless, the momentum of rising jackpots was still present. Lotto Texas, with an assist from a not-so-common Pattern, pushed the jackpot to $6.5 million. Powerball also went with the root of playing an uncommonly seen Pattern and sent its jackpot to $65 million.

Similar Spread

Before we get to the repeating Four-Number Combinations (mild spoiler: there was one), we need to talk about the similar spread. Saturday night’s numbers had a spread of 01:05:04:01:05. This was similar to what was seen back on May 4, 2002. Then, the winning numbers were 4, 5, 10, 11, 16 and 20, and their spread was 01:05:01:05:04. Even though the differences between the numbers played were the same, note that the order in which they played is different.

Feelin’ Those September Highs

Another September has come and gone, and the transition of seasons continues. Although the calendar says it’s fall, it still feels like summer in some places! Rising jackpots were the rule this summer and the results from September 29, 2021 showed that rule continued to hold for Lotto Texas and Powerball. The Lotto Texas jackpot eased into $20.75 million, and Powerball’s jackpot soared to $620 million.

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s Golden Opportunity

Playing the lottery is like a game of cat-and-mouse. Players are after the big bucks, and the lottery itself is avoiding capture for as long as possible. Although no one would turn their nose up at $50 million, just about everyone would salivate at the potential to win $200 million or even $1 billion!

A billion-dollar jackpot is a ways off. In any case, fortune smiled upon Lotto Texas and Powerball Wednesday night. That good fortune, of course, was not getting caught! This opened a golden opportunity to boost their jackpots and getting the players psyched up to try again. Lotto Texas clocked in at $8.75 million and Powerball at $199 million.

Will Saturday night see the return of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern in Powerball, and could either lottery see a playback?

The Juneteenth Playback Special

June 19th, or Juneteenth, commemorated the end of slavery in Texas. Although the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed in 1863, it wasn’t until June 19, 1865 that Union soldiers sailed into Galveston and read the Emancipation Proclamation that slavery was abolished in Texas.  

Yet, slavery hadn’t been fully abolished in the United States. Kentucky and Delaware, both Union states, continued to practice slavery until the ratification of the 13th Amendment six months later. This is because the Emancipation Proclamation only applied to the Confederacy, of which Texas was a part of.

Today, Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, and as of this past Thursday, a federal holiday. Not only is Juneteenth a day of remembrance for black Americans,  but it’s also a day of celebration.

Lotto Texas and Powerball were linked to this momentous occasion this year. Lotto Texas kept it classy while the jackpot grew to $6 million. Meanwhile, Powerball took a different approach to get its jackpot up to $63 million.

A Lottery’s Sense of Normalcy

Given that we’re dealing with lotteries here, the term “normalcy” is loaded. What’s “normal” for a lottery is far different than what we mere humans consider such. Oh, we crave excitement, but our actions show that we desire stability and predictability. Many of us wouldn’t be able to cope if our lives had the peaks and valleys most commonly seen in lotteries. There’s no set time for how long a jackpot grows; it can be over a period of several months, or it can be claimed just a single drawing after the reset.

The “normalcy” that returned on June 2, 2021 was Lotto Texas getting knocked back down to $5 million. A Plano player saw an opportunity and went for it. Meanwhile, Powerball’s jackpot was unashamedly high. With no one able to knock it off its high horse, the jackpot there grew to $286 million.

The Spreading Power of Jackpots

Special thanks to guest blogger Romulun Harris for filling in on Saturday!

The Mega Millions jackpot was the talk of the lottery world. For three months, that oak tree was nurtured by specific Patterns and the frustration of determined players. That frustration came to an end this past Friday when a Pennsylvanian player cut the mighty tree down.

As one tree fell, two others stood tall. May 22, 2021 was a busy night for Lotto Texas and Powerball. A Pattern three-peat and a similar spread were two stand-out developments. These fed into the jackpots rising once again. Lotto Texas jumped to $17.5 million, and Powerball expanded to $236 million.

Similar Spread

The 200th appearance of an uncommonly seen Pattern was a momentous occurrence after all. Perhaps it was fitting to throw in a similar spread as well! Saturday night’s spread was 08:13:05:01:02. This spread is similar to the one featured in the September 19, 2001 drawing. The winning numbers for that night were 8, 13, 15, 28, 29 and 37 with a spread of 05:02:13:01:08. Remember: the differences between numbers are the same, though not so for the order of the numbers.

Playback and Something Like It

The playback buzz was in the air this past Wednesday night. Its presence was certainly felt in Lotto Texas and although it grabbed a hold of Powerball, it didn’t stick the landing. The only thing these lotteries had in common February 3, 2021 was rising jackpots. These rose to $6 million and $30 million, respectively.

2020: The Great and Terrible

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. After some of the most gut-wrenching, devastating, and mind-boggling months in recent history, 2020 will be over in a matter of weeks. In the meantime, 2020 paid a visit to Lotto Texas and Powerball December 9th. This visitation was enough to edge out all the other years completely.

However, those who cheer for increasing jackpots will be happy to hear that the prizes did indeed increase! Lotto Texas grew to a respectable $5.75 million and Powerball ascended to $277 million.

Will 2020 reign supreme date-wise, or will others push through Saturday night?

Repeating Four-Number Combinations: The Aftermath

Two repeating Four-Number Combinations: one in Lotto Texas, and one in Powerball. That last mention wasn’t a typo. A Powerball’s repeating Four-Number Combination always gives birth to four repeating Three-Number Combinations. It’s a law of nature.

All that happened over the weekend. Then came November 18, 2020 and both Lotto Texas and Powerball were still picking up the pieces. They were too exhausted to deal with Pattern encores or anything fancy like an Australia Play. Only one lottery had the strength to play a repeating Four-Number Combination (three guesses who) but they both saw a jump in their jackpots. Lotto Texas grew to $8.5 million and Powerball grew to $192 million.

Of course, it would be Lotto Texas that saw the repeating Four-Number Combination! After all, this lottery is no stranger to them.
