The Powerball Three-Peat Special

November 17^th belonged to Powerball, thanks to a Pattern three-peat! This helped propel the grand prize to $139 million. But first, we’re going to look at everyone’s favorite unassuming, plucky lottery Lotto Texas. There wasn’t a Pattern encore there, but the grand prize rose to a humble, respectable $6.25 million.

Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and what better than Lotto Texas and Powerball to kick off the long weekend? Will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern go for the “four-peat” Wednesday night, and will Lotto Texas continue to have fun with uncommonly-seen Patterns?

When (Repeating) Combinations Attack

Lotto Texas and Powerball couldn’t be any more different than Mega Millions! As Mega Millions continued its rest, the two lotteries joined forces November 14^th. How, you wonder? With the power of repeating Combinations, of course! Neither lottery saw a grand prize winner, and the jackpots rose to a respectable $6 million and $124 million, respectively. As is the nature of the lottery beast, it wasn’t just repeating Combinations we found under the hood!

Powerball took to the “Play the most common Pattern” approach. Not only that, but the 116^th appearance of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern was an encore! This time, the winning numbers were 7, 42, 49, 62, 69, and PB 23.

The momentum for Powerball and Lotto Texas continues as we head into Saturday. Could Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern get a Pattern streak going, and could the {3-3} Pattern in Lotto Texas do the “unthinkable” and make an encore?

Big Things in “Small” Lotteries

Truthfully, none of the Big Three lotteries covered in this blog (Powerball, Lotto Texas, Mega Millions) are small. Yet, even among giants, there’s a “shorty”. Lotto Texas never seems to unleash monsters or enthrall nations with powerful spells. Despite being the smallest, it has its own quirks and is more than capable of throwing punches. After all, it did have a Pattern play eight times in a row!

There was nothing that grandiose November 10^th. Nevertheless, Lotto Texas still had the biggest plays of the night, and with a jackpot now at $5.75 million, its respectable image was maintained. Powerball, notorious for being a powerhouse, crossed the $100 million threshold ($106 million), and largely kept to itself.

This Combination made its debut in the June 14^th, 2017 drawing.

So far, the only thing that has been consistent in November has been rising jackpots. Yet, a few of these nights have been accompanied by Pattern streaks, especially in Lotto Texas. Powerball did see its most common Pattern, and one tried and true method to stay on top is through Pattern streaks. Could Wednesday see an encore of either the {4-1-1} or {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern?

The Lottery Flare-Up

November 7^th was quieter than Saturday night. However, it can be said that Lotto Texas owned the night once again. While its jackpot wasn’t anywhere as large as Powerball’s ($5.5. million vs. $92 million), Lotto Texas always finds a way to go big! Was there another similar spread?

Will the {3-2-1} Pattern streak continue Wednesday night, or will another Pattern take the spotlight? Will Powerball’s jackpot exceed $100 million?

1600 Ghosts

November 3^rd belonged to Lotto Texas! This plucky little lottery reached a milestone of 1600 drawings with numbers 1-54. In addition to the grand prize rising to $5.25 million, there were other goodies that we can’t mention just yet. Powerball didn’t slouch either, with a prize now standing at $71 million.

What, exactly, allowed Lotto Texas to seize the night and what was special about Powerball?

Similar Spread

You can’t go wrong celebrating a milestone with a similar spread! This happens when the differences between the numbers in two drawings are the same, but the orders of those numbers are different.

The spread for Saturday night was 10:02:21:01:04. This was similar to the spread that was seen on May 19, 2010. The spread that night was 10:04:21:02:01 and the winning numbers were 7, 17, 21, 42, 44, and 45.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Things are off to a busy start for November, although not nearly as crazy as last month! Will the momentum of the {3-2-1} Pattern streak continue to build in Lotto Texas? Could there be a {3-1-1-1} Pattern encore in Wednesday’s Powerball?

The Halloween Chill

The word “chill” has other meanings besides scaring someone. One describes a coldness in the air. Another describes the state or act of relaxing. After a wild, crazy, and strange month, Lotto Texas and Powerball took it easy on Halloween. During that period of rest, someone in Texas became $15.25 million richer and Powerball inched up to $53 million.

The chill looks to continue this Saturday. Could a {3-2-1} Pattern three-peat or a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore warm things up a bit?

The Spell Has Been Broken

Lotto Texas held steady with a quaint, but desirable, $15.25 million.

Powerball, on the other hand, was explosive. For months, Powerball had been amassing great power, and it took a player in Iowa and another in New York to take it down October 27^th. With the prize now claimed, Powerball got knocked back down to a more “normal” $40 million.

All the lotteries have been brought back down to Earth right before Halloween. The only freaky things to worry about, if they could ever be called that, are encores, Australia Plays, and playbacks. Could either of these make an appearance, or will Halloween be a quiet evening?

The Strengthening Spell

One down. One to go.

Powerball’s spell tightened its hold on the land October 24^th. The prize rose to $750 million! Lotto Texas received a boost as well, climbing to $14.5 million. Although it may be the “runt” of the lotteries, it more than held its own.

The weekend is close at hand, and Halloween is not that far behind. Will Powerball amass more power Saturday night, or will the spell be broken?

“Jackpotian” Rhapsody

Alright, alright, “Jackpotian” isn’t really a word, but those jackpots. There was no letting up October 20^th!

The jackpots continue to cast their spell on us. With Mega Millions in the “Billion-Dollar Club” ($1.6 billion and counting), Powerball may not be far behind. The grand prize over there is now $620 million. Now, in the off-chance that someone wins both, he or she will be $2.2 billion dollars (before taxes) richer! Unbelievable, isn’t it?

Lotto Texas may be the “runt” with a $13.5 million jackpot, but that isn’t small change, either. Couple that with a Pattern streak, this plucky little lottery held its own.
