They Goin’ Up!

Lotto Texas and Powerball live in different worlds, and Saturday night highlighted just how different they are. The former played an uncommon Pattern while the latter stuck with one of its most common. However, there are nights when these two appear to operate on similar wavelengths.

October 17, 2020 was one of those nights. Both lotteries saw their jackpots increase. Lotto Texas stepped up to $6.25 million and Powerball ascended to $91 million.

It’ll be That Time of Year ™ soon, and Powerball appears to be getting ready before everyone else! There’s a good chance that sometime in the coming week, the prize will be at least $100 million. Will it be thanks to a {2-2-1-1} Pattern streak, or will it be due to something else?

The Wednesday Night Hush

The halfway mark is a good checkpoint. You’ve made it 50 percent of the way and it’s time to make assessments. Do you keep your current pace, or do you change gears? For Lotto Texas and Powerball, it’s a no-brainer. After a busy start to October, in part due to the former’s fall from the top, mid-October (or close to it) is the perfect time to slow down!

Yes, there was a Pattern encore October 14, 2020 and a playback surfaced. And yes, the jackpots for Lotto Texas and Powerball leveled up to $6 million and $82 million, respectively. However, there was a certain something missing from that night’s lottery drawings.

With winning numbers 10, 12, 17, 29, 31 and 35, the {3-3} Pattern made its 144th appearance.

Both the {3-3} Pattern and the 3 3 0 Specific Order were last seen September 30, 2020. It was this very Pattern and Specific Order that brought Lotto Texas down to size.

Four-Number Combinations

The playback was a bittersweet reminder of what Lotto Texas once had. Reminiscing over what was meant no repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Powerball

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern went for the three-peat with 21, 37, 52, 53, 58 and PB 5. This Pattern has now played 203 times.

Three-Number Combinations

Powerball was more upbeat than Lotto Texas. However, no repeating Three-Number Combinations were found.

Will the second half of October be a mellow one for Lotto Texas and Powerball, or will the mood change Saturday night?

Lotto Texas: “I’m Still Relevant!”

Lotto Texas has a smaller jackpot than everyone else, true. That, however, has no effect on which Pattern is thrown to the masses. Or does it?

For a while, Lotto Texas was the one on top. And, although it has come to terms with the current situation, there’s nothing like the thrill of having the highest jackpot, a feeling that both Mega Millions and Powerball take for granted.

 October 10, 2020 was a night in which Lotto Texas tried to recreate that feeling. Oh, the jackpot wasn’t going to magically boost to $50 million, but a boost, any boost, would be sufficient.  The players be gifted with another showing of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern. Additional shenanigans with repeating Four-Number Combinations helped push the jackpot to $5.75 million.

Powerball was the calm one Saturday night. Unlike the frantic nature of that “uppity” lottery, Powerball exercised poise and grace. That paid off, for the jackpot got a hefty boost to $72 million.

Despite being in separate “classes”, Lotto Texas and Powerball opted to play their most commonly seen Patterns this week. Both the {3-2-1} and the {2-1-1-1-1} Patterns are known for Pattern streaks, one method they employ to stay on top! Will these Pattern streaks surface next week?

Bouncing Around and Dragging Along

October 7, 2020 was a night of contrasts to be sure! Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their jackpots rise, but they took vastly different approaches. Although still sore, Lotto Texas made peace with the fact that it’ll take longer to reach $47 million again and lived with a jackpot that inched up to $5.5 million. Powerball, on the other hand, was passing out repeating Three-Number Combinations like they were candy! The jackpot over there saw a huge increase from $52 million to $62 million.

As the lotteries continue to settle into the “natural” order of things again, it hasn’t escaped anyone’s attention that both of them played their most commonly seen Patterns. The {3-2-1} Pattern and the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern are both notorious for producing Pattern streaks! Is such a streak on the horizon for at least one lottery?

The Grand Jackpot Rift

‘Tis better to have been at the top and lost it, than to have never been at the top at all. At least, that’s the conclusion Lotto Texas came to after all that’s happened over the past 8.5 months. The road to $47 million will be an arduous one, though this past Saturday night was a step in the right direction. With no one matching the six winning numbers, the prize inched up to $5.25 million.

Powerball had reason to be excited. Lotto Texas was forced to reset, and the jackpot leapt from $43 million to $52 million.

Will the jackpots for both Lotto Texas and Powerball continue to rise next week?

Some Things are Not Worth Repeating

It finally happened. After 8.5 months, Lotto Texas was brought down. Oh, don’t feel sorry for Lotto Texas; it had to happen sooner or later. Although both the {3-3} Pattern and the 3 3 0 Specific Order were a hit last time, they brought about the crash of September 30, 2020 and made a lone player from Seguin much richer. Mega Millions and Powerball hugged and high-fived each other, happy that the “uppity little lottery” was put back in its place. The prize was reset to $5 million.

Amidst the chaos, Powerball held strong. With the help of an Australia Play, its position in lottery high society was maintained. The jackpot increased to $41 million.

Similar Spread

What about a similar spread? That should’ve been enough to keep Lotto Texas in the good graces of lottery high society, right? No. No it wasn’t.

The spread for this past Wednesday night’s numbers was 07:05:03:08:03. This was similar to the spread from the November 1, 2000 drawing. That night, the winning numbers were 27, 30, 35, 38, 45 and 43, with the spread being 03:05:03:07:08. Different numbers played both nights but notice that the differences between numbers were the same, although in different orders.

Four-Number Combinations

A trio of repeating Four-Number Combinations were a part of the scene, one of which played twice before:

Three-Number Combinations

There was also room for two repeating Three-Number Combinations!

With Lotto Texas out of the way, Powerball can now focus on other things, like, “How long will it take to have a monster-sized jackpot?” It may a while yet but to Powerball, the natural order has been restored and all is right with the world.

As for Lotto Texas? Well, it had a taste of the high life, and it’s not going to let this setback get in the way! But we must get through Saturday’s drawing first. It isn’t likely that the {3-3} Pattern will make a three-peat, but it is 2020, after all. We’ll need to keep an eye on it!

The Proud, the Stubborn

September 26, 2020 featured strong showings from both Lotto Texas and Powerball. Having been on top for the past 1.5 weeks, Lotto Texas wasn’t ready to give that up! The players were thwarted once again, and the jackpot hit $47 million.

Meanwhile, Powerball also saw a jackpot boost. The prize jumped from $25 million to $34 million, closing the gap between the two lotteries.

Given the current rate things are going, it won’t be much longer before Powerball has the largest jackpot. Lotto Texas will either have to start seeing larger jackpot increases or will have to get reacquainted to not being top dog. Will Powerball’s dream come true soon?

A Reset Deferred

It’s been exactly one week since the Powerball jackpot was won. Since that time, Powerball continues to pick up the pieces, and Lotto Texas remains on top. The prize in that lottery is now worth $45.5 million. The natural order hasn’t been restored in Powerball’s mind. No way that Lotto Texas stayed on top! What’s a “disgraced” lottery to do?

A {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat was part of Powerball’s arsenal, though that wasn’t enough to soothe the fevered desire to be back on top. Even with a volley of repeating Three-Number Combinations, the jackpot rose just a bit, from $22 million to $25 million. Patience, dear Powerball. Patience.

Will Powerball’s wish for Lotto Texas to be knocked from the top come true Saturday night, or will the lottery from down south hold strong?

At the Top and Twice as Much

Lotto Texas was in a world of its own. Powerball was forced to reset, and Lotto Texas was now on top. And, after what happened September 19, 2020, it extended its stay until at least the next drawing. The players failed once more to match all six numbers. Rather than go all out, a sliver of that old-time Lotto Texas respectability shone through. The jackpot rose to “just” $44 million.

Powerball began the task of rebuilding its clout. Things got off to a nice start, for players there failed to match all the numbers as well. In fact, $22 million isn’t a bad prize. Although, it was a reminder to Powerball that Lotto Texas had a jackpot now worth twice as much. A bitter pill to swallow for a lottery notorious for monster-sized jackpots, to be sure.

A couple of repeating Three-Number Combinations got caught up in the shuffle:

Neither Mega Millions nor Powerball are strangers to being the ones on top, but for Lotto Texas, it’s a wondrous, yet terrifying experience. Staying on top can either be long-lasting, or short-lived. And, Lotto Texas hasn’t forgotten that when the time comes for its reset, the climb back to the top will be much harder and much longer. Will it be able to hold off the reset for at least another drawing?

The Uppity Lottery

Mega Millions lost some of its clout this past Tuesday night, and one lottery endured the same fate. Lotto Texas, known for being meek and respectable, became more confident as 2020 rolled on. Some would say that the lil ol’ lottery from down South got uppity. Well, if you were expecting the return of respectable Lotto Texas…it did not return. On September 16, 2020, that “uppity” lottery had its jackpot rise to $42.75 million!

What happened to Powerball? Well, Powerball got knocked in the head by an Empire (State) apple and when it woke up, had only $20 million remaining. At least Mega Millions gained a grumbling partner.

Three-Number Combinations

Powerball’s bruised ego didn’t allow for repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Lotto Texas reigns supreme but deep down, it knows this moment won’t last forever. Mega Millions and Powerball will relish the day when the “uppity” lottery is put back in its place. Will Saturday night give Lotto Texas more time at the top?
