How Does a Lottery Show Its Love?

It’s a riddle for the ages, much like “Why did the chicken cross the road?” and “Why is a raven like a writing desk?”

How does a lottery show its love?

If you were Lotto Texas, then you showed your love for the {3-2-1} Pattern by sticking with it once again. You also wanted to spread the love and send the jackpot upward to $7.5 million. Powerball moved on to another Pattern and sent its jackpot to $70 million.

Playback and the Encore: A Lottery Love Story

Lotto Texas and Powerball may have played the day after Valentine’s Day, but love was still in the air! Saturday night is a traditional date night, no matter the time of year. One lottery courted a playback, and the other courted a Pattern encore. These power couples gave the players what-for, and the jackpots rose yet again. Lotto Texas climbed to $7.25 million and Powerball rose to $50 million.

Will Wednesday night see the {3-2-1} Pattern climb aboard the encore train and will the {3-1-1-1} Pattern stay on board?

Lucky Number 70 Million

The climb didn’t last long for Powerball. A Michigander cut the lottery’s jackpot down to size Wednesday night. Of course, that meant the prize reset to $40 million. Meanwhile, Lotto Texas’s jackpot quietly rose to $7 million.

Will Saturday night be a quiet one, or will the {4-1-1} and {3-1-1-1} Patterns be bold enough to make encores?

The Lottery Playbook

Pattern encores. Playbacks. Australia Plays. All these and more are part of The Lottery Playbook™. Lotto Texas, Powerball, and Mega Millions like to reference this book to keep things exciting. What happens then when no such major plays (or apparent ones) happen in a lottery drawing? Does that mean a quiet night?

Well, it depends. Quieter nights often occur when the playbook is thrown out. Sometimes, depending on the Pattern, it could be the start of something grander. One way to get started on that path is by sending the prizes upward. The aftermath of this past Saturday night was a $6.75 million prize for Lotto Texas and $70 million for Powerball.

Wednesday Night Streak Smashers

It’s a fact of life in the lottery world that some Patterns don’t get as much play as others. Sometimes, when those uncommon Patterns play, they leave a big impact.

This past Wednesday night saw the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak come to an end in Powerball. Likewise, the {3-2-1} Pattern streak of Lotto Texas was over before it could even start. All that was left were jackpots that rose to $60 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

Echoes Through the (Lottery) Void

Ever have those moments where it feels like you’re shouting into a void? That feeling when the only people who hear you are actually your own echoes?

There were echoes and both Lotto Texas and Powerball this past Wednesday. One lottery’s echoes reflected back on the Christmas/New Year’s timeframe, or thereabouts, and its jackpot rose to $6 million. The other had a monstrous jackpot that was slain by an intrepid player from Florida with the combined powers of a Pattern streak and a playback. Naturally, its jackpot reset to $40 million.

Monstrous and Mischievous Jackpots

The “January lull”, for the most part, didn’t exist for Lotto Texas and Powerball this year. A month that saw a repeating Five-Number Combination and a similar spread saw more madness Saturday night with a Pattern three-peat. Not only was there a three-peat to contend with, a not-so-common Pattern wanted in on the action and one lottery’s (*cough*Powerball’s*cough*) monstrous jackpot grew ever larger to $394 million. Lotto Texas, normally the “classy” one, kept up its mischievous streak with a prize that grew to $5.75 million.

Today’s title means one of two things. Either Lottery Binge has decided to venture into the world of craft beer brewing (and should quit before even getting started) or there was an Australia Play and a Pattern encore. We’re going to go with the latter.

This past Wednesday night was also good for fans of repeating Four-Number and Three-Number Combinations. As busy as the night was, there were no grand prize winners in either lottery. Lotto Texas’s jackpot climbed to $5.5 million while Powerball waltzed into $373 million.

Will a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat in Powerball send its jackpot to $400 million or close to it? Could Lotto Texas see an Australia Play encore?

Spreading Lottery-Brand Madness

We’ve all been told (or should have been told) to never judge a book by its cover. That piece of advice must always be considered when performing lottery analysis. On the surface, both Lotto Texas and Powerball’s six numbers are unassuming. After all, they’re just numbers.

Well, this past Saturday saw a monstrous jackpot grow even larger, a Pattern encore, and a similar spread. The jackpot climbed to $5.25 million in Lotto Texas and $343 million in Powerball. Just numbers, indeed!

When you see a similar spread remember this sage advice: The differences between drawn numbers are the same, but their orders are different.

Meanwhile, the {4-1-1} Pattern isn’t known to make three-peats in Lotto Texas, but nothing seems too out of the ordinary for these lotteries!
