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.

As May approaches, will the {3-2-1} Pattern streak hold for Lotto Texas, and will Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern see a three-peat?

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.

All Roads Lead to Rising Jackpots

Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their jackpots rise to $12.75 million and $37 million, respectively. However, the path each lottery took Wednesday night was fraught with its own perils, er, surprises. One surprise was an Australia Play, the other a Pattern encore.

As April is nearing its end, we’ll need to keep an eye out for Pattern encores. Take the {3-1-1-1} Pattern in Powerball, for example. After its encore, is a three-peat in the cards Saturday night? Will we also see an Australia Play encore in Lotto Texas?

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.

There are only a couple of weeks left until we get to May. Will either the {3-2-1} or {3-1-1-1} Patterns try to establish a Pattern streak in that time?

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?

Will Saturday night see more playbacks and/or a full embrace of previous months?

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.

Patterns That Start with “3”

Considering that Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings took place April 4, 2020, it would’ve been fitting to see one or both lotteries feature Patterns that start with “4”. Instead, both lotteries opted for Patterns that started with “3”. That move pushed the prize to $10.75 million in Lotto Texas and $190 million in Powerball.

There Be No Fools

In times like these, we could all use a good laugh. Whether it’s sitcoms or jokes, cartoons or pranks, we’d go nuts if we never stopped to laugh at the absurdities of “real life”.

Lotto Texas and Powerball got in a laugh or two Wednesday night. Neither of them showered us with Pattern encores, but there was a repeating Combination of the Three or Four-Number kind somewhere. Even though the lotteries were taking it easy for the most part, they had enough energy to boost the jackpot to $10.5 million in Lotto Texas and $180 million in Powerball.
