The Closing Jackpot Gap

Not much separates the value of the Powerball and Lotto Texas jackpots. Currently, Mega Millions has the most clout, and although they both have a way to go before reaching that height, a race to be Number Two may be underway soon.

On August 22, 2020, the gap between “established” Powerball and “new money” Lotto Texas narrowed. With neither lottery seeing a grand prize winner, their jackpots increased. Lotto Texas ascended to $34.75 million and Powerball ascended to $37 million.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Powerball, flustered by that “uppity” Lotto Texas, had no repeating Three-Number Combinations to accompany it.

At least one of these things will happen Wednesday night: Lotto Texas continues to close in on Powerball, or Lotto Texas takes the Number Two spot as Powerball resets. Perhaps in their bout of social climbing, they take each other down? Powerball would certainly be Number Two then, what with Lotto Texas’s reset value being $5 million, while it would sit comfortably at $20 million. We’ll just have to wait until Wednesday night and see!

“Spreading the Jackpot Madness” or “The Inner Workings of Lottery Society”

The lottery world has always been a strange place. Numbers are the dominant species, and clout is in the form of jackpot size. The larger your jackpot, the higher your status.

In this strange world, Lotto Texas has gained clout, and is determined to hold on to it. With the help of a rarely seen Pattern and a similar spread, this lottery cemented itself in high society. The jackpot climbed to $34.25 million.

Powerball’s jackpot rises and falls, like jackpots are wont to do. However, it could reassure itself that it was of a “better” stock than that Lotto Texas! Well, Powerball was able to continue its climb upward. With no grand prize winner, the jackpot there ascended to $29 million.

Similar Spread

The spreadfor August 19^th was 04:05:02:02:18. On March 19, 2008, numbers 17, 35, 40, 42, 46 and 48 had a spread of 18:05:02:04:02. Differences between the numbers that played were the same, yet the orders in which they played on those nights were different. Now, some lotteries may gripe, saying this was a case of try-hard, but a similar spread was a touch of class. Who classier than Lotto Texas?

Four-Number Combinations

Of course, Lotto Texas wasn’t done. There were also two repeating Four-Number Combinations!

Powerball decided to go in the opposite direction and play a commonly seen Pattern, its most common Pattern, to be precise. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 194^th appearance with 13, 23, 47, 55, 58 and PB 23.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Repeating Three-Number Combination 47, 55 and 58 debuted December 1, 2018.

While it is nice to be at the top, it would do Lotto Texas good to remember that the bigger they come, the harder they fall. It doesn’t take much effort for Powerball to rise to the $30 million+ range. Will Lotto Texas continue its time in the lottery high society, or will it feel the sting of a captured jackpot and the painful crash?

Unshakeable Lotto Texas and Plucky Powerball

This year has been a year of discovery for Lotto Texas. Unlike Mega Millions and Powerball, this lottery is, comparatively speaking, the prim and proper one. Now and again, it indulges but pulls back when things get too hairy. Thing is, Lotto Texas hasn’t pulled back in a while. Since January, the jackpot has climbed from $5 million to over $30 million. August 15, 2020 was yet another winless night, and more money being added to the pot meant $33.25 million up for grabs in the next drawing.

August 15, 2020 was a night of opportunity for Powerball. After getting knocked off its feet earlier this week, it dusted off and hit the ground running. With the help of encores from both the Pattern and the General Order, the jackpot rose to $22 million.

The Lotto Texas Playback and Sunshine for Powerball

August 12, 2020 featured another shake-up in the lottery world! Powerball was brought down by an intrepid player from The Sunshine State, and with that, the jackpot was reset to $20 million. Lotto Texas was determined to not go down. With an assist from the Australia Play, a playback like no other, its jackpot rose to $32.25 million.

Pummeling and (Near) Playbacks

One word described the night of August 5, 2020: brutal. Lotto Texas and Powerball players got pummeled for even daring to think they could win either of the jackpots. It could be argued that players of the former bore the brunt of it, as there was a Texas-sized playback. With that playback came a jackpot now worth $30.25 million. That quiet, unassuming Lotto Texas ain’t so quiet these days, and hasn’t been for some time.

A playback looked to be on the horizon in Powerball but no go. The jackpot there settled at a comfortable $158 million.

Sitting High and Mighty on the Lottery Hill

We’ve entered the eighth month and the lotteries just won’t budge. Did Lotto Texas and Powerball find industrial-grade glue and plant themselves firmly at the top? Truthfully, it was their love of teasing players that kept the prizes unwinnable August 1, 2020. With no one picking the six winning numbers, Lotto Texas and Powerball ascended to $29.5 million and $147 million, respectively.

And They Just Keep Rising

Lotto Texas and Powerball are done with July and what a showing! Lotto Texas’s jackpot held strong, making it to $29 million. That’s one of the highest jackpots this blog has covered so far! And would you believe this relatively enormous jackpot was thanks to a {4-1-1} Pattern encore? Powerball’s jackpot didn’t get knocked off its pedestal, either. The jackpot there climbed to $137 million.

Will Lotto Texas and Powerball start August with Pattern repeats and jackpots that continue to climb?

Fortifying the Jackpot Fortresses

A grand shift is underway. July is almost over, and there are only a few more weeks until the start of the school year. Pandemic or no, that time of year is filled with both excitement and dread. Such a shift doesn’t exist for Lotto Texas or Powerball. Instead, they spent the night of July 25, 2020 fortifying their jackpot fortresses.

Both lotteries saw rising jackpots, one of which was thanks to the power of a playback. Lotto Texas grew to $28.5 million, the highest this blog has covered. Powerball extended its membership in the nine-figure club with a prize worth $126 million.

Milestone and Playback

Although it sounds like the title of a Z-grade throwback buddy cop film, we can assure you it’s not! July 18, 2020 was a historic day to be sure. Powerball had its 500^th drawing and to celebrate, Lotto Texas saw a playback. Strange, that. Along with reaching an important milestone, Powerball saw its jackpot rise to $106 million. Lotto Texas continued to enjoy the thrill of a large jackpot, large for it, anyway. With no one selecting all six winning numbers, the Lotto Texas prize climbed to $27.25 million.
