Can You Play That Back Again?

Sometimes, you may not have heard something right or just want to make sure you have the right information. The proper thing to do is ask the speaker to repeat what was just said. The speaker may or may not be annoyed by the request. Luckily, lotteries don’t have it in them to be annoyed. Sometimes, they’ll repeat and, like Lotto Texas and Powerball this past Saturday night, they’ll repeat without being prompted.

September 16, 2023 was a night for both a Pattern encore and a playback! Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw generous gains in their jackpots, growing to $6.75 million and $638 million, respectively.

What repeats await Lotto Texas and Powerball’s players Monday night? Perhaps Powerball will get in on some playback action?

Rising Up and Knocking Down

Lotto Texas and Powerball were complete opposites in more ways than one! For starters, Wednesday night featured a common Pattern in Powerball and a not-so-common one in Lotto Texas. The results were also the opposite. As Powerball soared to $420 million, Lotto Texas was forced to reset to $5 million.

The Lotto Texas reset is where we begin.

How high will the jackpots soar in the week ahead?

Playback Down Under!

Greetings, Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here! Last night on July 10, 2023, almost a week after America’s 247th birthday, the Powerball District received a surprise visit from the Land Down Under. There was a surprise in the Lotto Texas District as well. And now, the details.

LOTTO TEXAS

Along with Independence Day, July’s been full of surprises so far, especially this one. Lotto Texas’s Playback and Powerball’s Australia Play occurring on the very same day! We can definitely expect a surprise like this again, sometime soon. This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe!

You Get a Playback, and YOU Get a Playback…

The calendar switched to July Saturday night, and many hearts skipped a beat. Millions were in shock that 2023 reached the halfway mark so soon. Holiday or no, time seems to have a nasty way of speeding up over the weekend. Supposedly, having an activity or two over that brief period of freedom makes the passage of time bearable. For some, one planned activity was giving Lotto Texas and/or Powerball a go. That time spent bubbling in numbers was life-changing, even though all the players fell short of winning the jackpots.

Lotto Texas and Powerball operated on a similar wavelength July 1, 2023. Both lotteries featured a playback, but they went about it in their own way. These playback methods pushed their respective jackpots to $6.5 million and $522 million.

Note: For our new readers, or anyone who needs a refresher, a playback occurs when the Pattern, General Order (Mega Millions and Powerball only), and the Specific Order all played on the same date.

What kind of fireworks will Lotto Texas and Powerball have in store for Monday night?

Spread, Spread and Spread Some More

Something is spreading through parts of the lottery world. Since May, two lotteries have been struck by it at least once. In fact, one lottery got hit with two of them on the same night! One or two, it doesn’t matter. Everyone is on high alert when a lottery is “chosen” to spread the love.

June 7, 2023 was no exception. Lotto Texas was “chosen”, and Powerball came close to seeing a playback. Their respective jackpots climbed to $7.25 million and $308 million.

Is a similar spread in store for either Lotto Texas or Powerball Saturday night?

How Deep Does the Jackpot Hole Go?

On Saturday night, the allure of similar spreadsfaded for Lotto Texas and Powerball. Easter eggs were more their thing. Now, these eggs were neither hard-boiled nor plastic. These eggs are inexpensive sheets of paper that can be filled out by either hand or machine. If everything matches, then you could win enough to start your own Easter emporium!

Alas, April 8, 2023 was a big goose egg for Lotto Texas and Powerball players alike. On the bright side, the jackpots saw another boost. Lotto Texas grew to $63.75 million, and Powerball grew to $192 million.
