Not So Long Ago in a Store Very Close By…

Truthfully, it happened in millions of stores. Intrepid souls from far and wide tried their hands at the lottery. Between Lotto Texas and Powerball, there were two major opportunities to win millions. The prospect of financial security and a brighter future awaited the lucky person (or people) who picked the six winning numbers.

However, both Lotto Texas and Powerball had other plans Wednesday night. Both lotteries made it their mission to thwart the players and boost their jackpots. As Lotto Texas grew to $6.25 million and Powerball shot up to $87 million, the spirit of millions would not be deterred, for they would try again Saturday night…

Which Pattern will return Saturday night, and how high will those jackpots go?

The Stuffening

Thanksgiving in the US has the misfortune of being overshadowed by both Halloween and Christmas. Right after the scares and candy come the Christmas decorations, the songs, the sales, we could go on. Given how pervasive Christmas is, no one would blame you if you didn’t know, or forgot*, that American Thanksgiving is in November. Perhaps Lotto Texas and Powerball can help with that.

*To our US readers: Be honest. How many of you have forgotten at least once about Thanksgiving?

Ever since this past weekend, both lotteries have engorged themselves on repeating Combinations. On Saturday, Powerball saw two repeating Four-Number Combinations, a rarity for this lottery, and Lotto Texas was the talk of the town Monday night with a repeating Five-Number Combination. The night of November 23, 2022 was a feast of Combinations!

Another repeating Five-Number Combination was spotted in Lotto Texas, and Powerball helped itself once again to two repeating Four-Number Combinations! Amidst the madness, the Lotto Texas jackpot grew to $16.75 million, and Powerball’s jackpot grew to $48 million.

Thanksgiving is a time for spending time with family and being happy with what you’ve got. This is Romulun Harris signing off and wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving!

The Saturday Night Combination Scene

As people are busy living it up on Saturday nights, Lotto Texas and Powerball go about “combinationing”. The act of “combinationing” involves presenting repeating Three or Four-Number Combinations to the world. As of late, Saturday nights have been a boon for the Combination scene, and the October 1, 2022 scene was poppin’!  

Both lotteries got in on the combination scene Saturday night. Would you believe that it was Lotto Texas that had the biggest display? This was in addition to a Pattern encore that pushed the jackpot to $6.5 million. Powerball was no slouch, either. A lack of a Pattern encore was no deterrent for the jackpot rising to $336 million.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

The {3-2-1} Pattern encore was made possible by 14, 16, 19, 20, 32 and 52. This Pattern has now played 1090 times.

The Reigning Combination Affliction

Last time we saw our dear friends Lotto Texas and Powerball, there were mutterings of a conspiracy amongst them. Both lotteries took it upon themselves to bombard everyone with repeating Combinations aplenty. Based off what happened April 30, 2022, the word “conspiracy” caught one lottery off-guard. In contrast to earlier in the week, this lottery took it down a notch. Meanwhile, the other lottery didn’t care a whit, further delving into the madness. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their respective jackpots climb to $11.25 million and $27 million.

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s Grand Combination Conspiracy

Lotto Texas and Powerball did something nuts last Wednesday. While the former lottery took a break from repeating Four-Number Combinations, the latter took that ball and ran with it! Jackpots climbed and methodical madness ensued. Then, things eased up a bit that weekend, but that serenity didn’t last. Lotto Texas maintained some composure, but Powerball went crazy with the repeating Three-Number Combinations. Surely a midweek drawing would mean a quieter night, right?

Well, folks, the madness continued April 27, 2022. This time, Lotto Texas also took a walk on the wild side, bringing forward a repeating Five-Number Combination and the associated aftermath. Once the dust settled, a jackpot worth $10.75 million was left standing. Powerball went crazy with the repeating Three-Number Combinations again, and all it had to show for it was a jackpot that reset to $20 million. At least Powerball gave a player in Arizona 473 million reasons to be happy!

This attraction fizzled out but didn’t stay out for long. Lotto Texas embraced yet another repeating Five-Number Combination Saturday night, passionately pushing the jackpot to $5.5 million.

Lotto Texas and Powerball Do a Flip

Lotto Texas and Powerball couldn’t be any more different! Why, just a few posts ago, we talked about Lotto Texas’s grace and poise and how audacity was Powerball’s raison d’etre. What we forgot to mention was that their personalities flip once in a while.

Most recently, that personality swap took place on February 9, 2022. Lotto Texas was the one who decided to throw grace to the wind for a change and use the power of a repeating Five-Number Combination to boost its jackpot to a respectable $9.25 million. Powerball borrowed the grace Lotto Texas casted aside and quietly used an Australia Play encore to grow the jackpot to $172 million.

“Wild Wednesday” with Lotto Texas and Powerball

Lull? What lull?

Lotto Texas, known for its chastity and civility (compared to Mega Millions and Powerball anyway) was anything but chaste or civil! When it came to wild and unruly, this lottery reigned supreme. This uncharacteristic behavior sent the jackpot to an even $17 million.

Powerball didn’t act foolish, and perhaps it didn’t need to. The massive jackpot, which rose to $277 million, helped this lottery preserve the appearance of dignity.
