There be Lottery Fireworks

To our readers in the United States: Happy Fourth of July! May it be full of grilling, companionship, relaxation, and fireworks.

On July 3, 1996, one movie took the world by storm. An alien invasion movie with plucky, loveable characters, special effects that (mostly) hold up to this day, and a stellar (no pun intended) soundtrack. That movie was Independence Day, and for everyone who saw it in the theater, especially for the 90s kids out there (like yours truly), it was a thrill like no other. Twenty-five years later, and the movie has become a staple of holiday viewing.

July 3, 2021 saw a dazzling display of fireworks from both Lotto Texas and Powerball. A three-peat and a playback were featured, and the jackpots shot up once more! The Lotto Texas jackpot blasted its way up to $7 million, and Powerball’s jackpot soared to $113 million.

How Should Lotteries End a Month?

Can you believe it?! Another June has come and gone, which means we’re halfway through 2021. Lotto Texas and Powerball had the honor of bidding adieu. Save for a Pattern encore, June 30, 2021 was far quieter than what we saw this past Saturday night. The jackpots rose to $6.75 million and $101 million, respectively.

Three-Number Combinations

Powerball was so winded by the Pattern encore and a near-playback that no repeating Three-Number Combinations played.

Will Lotto Texas and Powerball put on a pre-Fourth of July fireworks show with even more Pattern encores?

Lottery Nostalgia Bombs

Next to Christmas and your birthday, summer most likely rounded out your top three of “Best Time of the Year”. Summer meant several weeks away from teachers and homework, days filled with games, swimming, popsicles, and checking out the latest movies.

One summer, you’re an eight-year-old playing video games. Flash forward twenty years and your summers are spent toiling away in the working world. Summer vacation then becomes a couple of weeks you have to time just right, provided you have at least that much time saved up. Even if you happen to be a kid at heart, those nostalgia pangs come rushing in, and summer, a wondrous time when everything was once new, is a peak time for it.

If it’s any consolation, at least you’re not a lottery. Lotteries are constantly bombarded with nostalgia, some more than others. This past Saturday night wasn’t any different! And yet, lotteries are tied to the present and future, too. The (then recent) numbers that played June 26, 2021 were responsible for the future jackpots of $6.5 million for Lotto Texas and $88 million for Powerball.

Powerball didn’t think that was enough and threw one more out for good measure. Repeating Three-Number Combination 8, 43 and PB 17 debuted December 15, 2018.

Will Lotto Texas and Powerball end June with Pattern encores, or do they have something else up their sleeves?

Spreading Out for Summer

Lotto Texas and Powerball were primed for summer June 23, 2021. They welcomed the new season with rising jackpots. The former gracefully rose to $6.25 million, and the latter leapt to $75 million. Things got hotter with the presence of a similar spread and an Australia Play!

Similar Spread

The spread for Wednesday night was 13:05:08:04:06. Going back, oh, twenty years, there was something similar to this the night of May 2, 2001! That night, 18, 26, 32, 45, 49 and 54 were the winning numbers, with a spread of 08:06:13:04:05. The differences between numbers were the same but of course, the orders (and the numbers played) were different.

Four-Number Combinations

Lotto Texas had the energy to put up a repeating Four-Number Combination that played twice before!

Powerball

Powerball went with a swift, effective Australia Play! The winning numbers were 13, 20, 40, 51, 63 and PB 1.

This means the {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern, [1-1-1-1-1-1] General Order, and 1 1 1 1 1 1 Specific Order have played 30 times. Given that there have now been 597 Powerball drawings, an Australia Play has been featured in 5.03% of them. We last saw an Australia Play November 7, 2020.

Will Saturday night feature more similar spreads and Australia Plays?

Blazing Hot Lotteries

Summer is coming, which means rising temperatures are ahead. Although we like to kick things off with Memorial Day, the true start of the season is on the Summer Solstice, which falls on either June 20^th or the 21^st in the Northern Hemisphere. And yet, nature cares not about what the calendar says. Blazing hot temperatures can and have occurred before the Solstice!

It was June 16, 2021 that Lotto Texas and Powerball got caught in a heatwave. Nothing record-breaking (yet?), but like the temperatures outside, the jackpots rose. Lotto Texas’s jackpot climbed to $5.75 million, and Powerball’s ascended to $52 million.

Bound by the {3-2-1} Pattern

The power of the {3-2-1} Pattern was felt far and wide Wednesday night! On June 9, 2021, this Pattern returned for both Lotto Texas and Powerball. Would you believe that this triggered a three-peat in Powerball? Meanwhile, the bump in Lotto Texas’s jackpot to $5.25 million was thanks to that Pattern encore.

A note before we continue: As of this writing, there’s been a delay in processing the results of Powerball’s drawing. Because of this, no one knows yet what the jackpot for Saturday’s drawing will be worth.

EDIT: As of 6/12/2021, the Powerball jackpot is $31 million.

Preparing for June: Lotto Texas and Powerball Style

Holiday weekends are great for hanging out with friends and family, catching up on sleep (and streaming), and trying out new things. That extra time off is also a potentially overlooked opportunity to prepare for the future. Lotto Texas and Powerball concentrated on the latter May 29, 2021. June is only a few days away, and the lotteries believed it was better to head into the new month with profound momentum, all thanks to the power of rising jackpots. Lotto Texas welcomed a boost to $18.75 million with open arms, and Powerball jumped to $268 million.

Lotto Texas and Powerball sensed the buzz of summer vacation and graduations and went hog wild. May 26, 2021 was a night of uncommon Patterns, wild plays, and rising jackpots.

What mischief will Lotto Texas and Powerball get up to Saturday night? Will Lotto Texas continue to embrace its wild side, and will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern make an encore?

The Spreading Power of Jackpots

Special thanks to guest blogger Romulun Harris for filling in on Saturday!

The Mega Millions jackpot was the talk of the lottery world. For three months, that oak tree was nurtured by specific Patterns and the frustration of determined players. That frustration came to an end this past Friday when a Pennsylvanian player cut the mighty tree down.

As one tree fell, two others stood tall. May 22, 2021 was a busy night for Lotto Texas and Powerball. A Pattern three-peat and a similar spread were two stand-out developments. These fed into the jackpots rising once again. Lotto Texas jumped to $17.5 million, and Powerball expanded to $236 million.

Lotto Texas fell in love with the number 2, in a way. The 200^th appearance of the {4-2} Pattern was made possible by winning numbers 4, 12, 25, 30, 31 and 33.

This Pattern has now played in 10.7% of the 1866 drawings and was last seen February 3, 2021.

Similar Spread

The 200^th appearance of an uncommonly seen Pattern was a momentous occurrence after all. Perhaps it was fitting to throw in a similar spread as well! Saturday night’s spread was 08:13:05:01:02. This spread is similar to the one featured in the September 19, 2001 drawing. The winning numbers for that night were 8, 13, 15, 28, 29 and 37 with a spread of 05:02:13:01:08. Remember: the differences between numbers are the same, though not so for the order of the numbers.

Four-Number Combinations

Will either Powerball or Lotto Texas get knocked back down to size in the week ahead, or will they continue their journey of growth?

The Rising Jackpot Bonanza: Lotto Texas and Powerball Edition

Something is spreading throughout the lottery world. Mega Millions has been in its grip for months, and Lotto Texas and Powerball haven’t shown any signs of resistance themselves as of late. This is the power of rising jackpots. With the school year wrapping up, the lotteries barrel through May full steam ahead, ready to kick off those hotter, sunnier days.

This past Saturday was something of an anomaly. Repeating Five-Number Combinations and similar spreads often don’t occur on the same night. Although such phenomena were absent May 19, 2021, Lotto Texas and Powerball didn’t disappoint! Even with its newfound assertiveness, Lotto Texas retained its classiness, ascending gracefully to $17 million. Powerball did its own thing and jumped to an impressive $218 million.
