Jackpot Growth, So it Goes

They say it’s always the ones you least expect. For as long as we’ve done Lottery Binge, the current behavior in Lotto Texas is something for sure. Never have we seen such determination from a lottery known to bow out gracefully long before the jackpot reaches as high as it has become lately! Lotto Texas, often overshadowed by Powerball and Mega Million, continues to have a jackpot that’s “in their league”, so to speak.

Rather than opt for a Pattern encore, Lotto Texas took to playing a less common Pattern Saturday night. This paid off handsomely, for the jackpot grew to $54.5 million. Meanwhile, Powerball’s nifty handling of an Australia Play boosted the jackpot over there to $86 million.

How high will these jackpots climb in the week ahead?

Lotteries of Sound(ish) Mind

As people went crazy over the monstrously large jackpots that were offered up in both Mega Millions and Powerball earlier in the year, there was one lottery that kept calm. Often overlooked, perhaps because it’s a state lottery, Lotto Texas’s jackpot journey began in September. Nearly six months later, the jackpot soared to heights that haven’t been seen in some time! A gentle nudge was all that was needed Saturday night to send the jackpot to $53.25 million.

Powerball’s more direct approach boosted the jackpot to $52 million. The jackpot may not have overtaken Lotto Texas’s, but it came within striking distance.

Lotto Texas

How the (Lottery) Tables Have Turned

Something funny happened during the Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings Saturday night. Both an Australia Play and a Pattern encore were spotted, but that wasn’t the “funny” part. For the first time in a long time, the Lotto Texas jackpot became larger than the one in Powerball! A winning ticket in Virginia forced the Powerball jackpot to reset to $20 million. Meanwhile, the Lotto Texas jackpot grew to $51 million.

It’s not often that Lotto Texas has a larger jackpot than Powerball. Will this remain true Monday night, or will Lotto Texas face The Reset?

Big Cool Down, Bigger Jackpots

Things feel more messed up these days. Some parts of the Northern Hemisphere feel more like late spring than winter or even early spring, for one. Throw in unnecessary belligerence, cold and flu (and COVID?) season, and the unshakeable feeling of being price gouged, it’s as if things are falling apart. As the human world embroils itself in contradictions, blame games, and measuring contests, the lottery world continues with a routine that has existed for many years. Wednesday night’s results were proof that big gains can be made without bluff and bluster.

February 22, 2023 was a night that showed both Lotto Texas and Powerball taking a calmer approach to jackpot gains. Putting aside the idea of Pattern streaks and dialing back on repeating Combinations pushed their respective jackpots to $47.25 million and $119 million.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

Wednesday night featured the 1124th appearance of the {3-2-1} Pattern with winning numbers 7, 11, 17, 34, 42 and 47.

Hanging Out in the Same (Jackpot) Neighborhood

Normally, Lotto Texas and Powerball hang out in different crowds. The former lottery tends to be more gracious whenever the jackpot rises. Meanwhile, the latter often goes all out, and isn’t afraid to flirt with the prospect of billion-dollar prizes, or close to that amount. Regardless of methods, it hasn’t escaped our notice that both Lotto Texas and Powerball do have one thing in common lately: the worth of their jackpots!

February 11, 2023 meant another night of growth for Lotto Texas. The return of a Pattern from earlier in the week boosted the jackpot to $41.75 million. Meanwhile, an Australia Play made the jump to $45 million possible for Powerball.

Some Lotteries Like to Spread Out

After a month of going nuts over repeating Combinations, Lotto Texas and Powerball may going for another approach. That approach, dear readers, is the art of the spread.

December may have just started, but there were hints of change this past Wednesday night. A similar approach happened Saturday night for one lottery while the other went with repeating Combinations. Regardless of approach, both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their respective jackpots grow to $19 million and $89 million.

Similar Spread

Lotto Texas mastered the exact art of a spread earlier in the week. Although that wasn’t present Saturday night, something similar did take place. Saturday’s winning numbers had a spread of 02:07:10:12:01. Similarly, the winning numbers from March 8, 2014, 18, 25, 35, 47, 49 and 50, had a spread of 07:10:12:02:01.

Both Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots continue to soar, and the art of the spread seems to be making headway. Still, it’s early yet. We’ll have to see if more similar and/or exact spreads are in the cards for these lotteries, or if they’ll abandon them like fruitcake.
