Those Ridiculous(ly Loveable) Lotteries

Two months. Would you believe that it took Powerball two months to have a jackpot worth almost one billion dollars?! Powerball’s persistence and resilience paid off since that fateful evening in July. As we neared September’s end, the jackpot had grown to $925 million.

What of Lotto Texas? Although it wasn’t as willing to entertain a ridiculously large jackpot in a (near) ridiculously short time, there was a Pattern encore. That encore was enough to grow the jackpot to $8 million.

“Fall”-ing for Lotteries

To all our readers in the Northern Hemisphere, that wonderful season known as fall began September 23rd at 6:50 AM GMT. However, depending on where you live, Mother Nature still hasn’t let go of summer. As many fall lovers in those regions count down the days when they can whip out the sweaters and truly embrace the pumpkin spice, there’s no heat relief in either Lotto Texas or Powerball. In fact, a Saturday night is prime time to turn things up!

This past Saturday night was a bit quieter on the “crazy plays” front. No Australia Plays coming back like boomerangs, let alone any Pattern encores. Instead, the beast of a jackpot in Powerball grew even larger, stopping at a towering $785 million. Meanwhile, Lotto Texas’s jackpot rose to a respectable $7.5 million.

Is the Powerball jackpot looking to surpass $800 million Monday night, or will it take a mighty fall?

Powerball: Lotto Texas Times 100

When you’ve said, “It’s like <insert whatever> times 100”, you meant that <insert whatever> is like <some other thing> is much better, or much worse. For example, if someone said a show is like “Game of Thrones: Season 8” times 100, then (s)he’s likely saying it’s a terrible show. No offense to anyone who liked “Game of Thrones: Season 8” of course. Sometimes, <insert whatever> times 100 is quite literal. When numbers are involved, like with Wednesday night’s Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings, it most certainly is literal.

September 20, 2023 was a night to remember, for sure. By the combined powers of both an Australia Play and an uncommon Pattern, the Lotto Texas and Powerball prizes grew to $7.25 million and $725 million, respectively. Yes, the Powerball prize was 100 times larger than Lotto Texas’s!

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.

Combo Enthusiasm

There are freedoms that come with being a lottery. No work or school, for starters. No worries about bills, debts, or any of those “people problems”. No, instead, lotteries have the potential to help people find ways out of bills, debts, and the insanity of the working world. Except, lotteries only do so unwillingly. They love it more when people don’t win the jackpot, or at least not quickly! Why else are Lotto Texas and Powerball coming into tonight’s analysis so full of themselves?

September 13, 2023 was the night for embracing the madness of repeating Combinations. If that weren’t enough, both Lotto Texas and Powerball watched their jackpots grow to $6.5 million and $596 million, respectively.

Yes, although it may have been over 20 years, this is an important event that must never be forgotten because some of those people who died gave their lives for this country. I also give my prayers to those still living and have lost friends and family on that frightening, heartbreaking day. This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe and be careful.

Boiling, Roiling Lotteries

A Saturday night can fall into three categories: a night to work, a night to chill, or a night to go out on the town. This applies to both humans and lotteries alike. Like people, no two lotteries are the same.

The differences between Lotto Texas and Powerball were magnified this Saturday night. Even with an Australia Play, Lotto Texas maintained composure and grew the jackpot to $6 million. Meanwhile, Powerball used its most common Pattern to boost the jackpot to $522 million.

The Commitment to Jackpot Growth

There was talk in the lottery world Wednesday night. Word on the street was that a lottery that grew to just over $1 billion is now halfway there. Now mind, that lottery’s reset was less than two months ago, and already, the jackpot is $500 million. Truly, Powerball was committed to not having the jackpot reset, and that commitment paid off!

Meanwhile, Lotto Texas was also committed to jackpot growth. The jackpot had a way to go before reaching $1 billion, let alone $100 million. However, that didn’t stop the jackpot from reaching $5.75 million.
