At the Edge of One Billion

Summer is in full swing. The temperatures are rising still (as if it couldn’t get any hotter), and ironically, Back-to-School ads are beginning to pop up like mushrooms. To escape the stress and ennui of modern living, many turn to lotteries. Sure, more money can mean more problems, but the allure of becoming a multimillionaire overnight is too enticing to ignore! Even more difficult to ignore is when there is at least one jackpot on the verge of entering the billion-dollar range. To say that things are heating up in the lottery world as well is an understatement!

July 12, 2023 meant another night of Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots avoiding capture, so to speak. Lotto Texas, ever graceful, boosted the jackpot to $7.75 million. Powerball, by process of elimination, was the one harboring that beastly jackpot. There, the prize grew to $875 million.

Three-Number Combinations

Powerball had enough energy to throw in four repeating Three-Number Combinations:

Will the Powerball jackpot hit the $1 billion mark, or will it be brought down soon?

Mega Millions Packs a Punch

While stopping at 7-11 for free Slurpees Tuesday night, players far and wide bought Mega Millions tickets in hopes of winning the massive jackpot. Unlike 7-11, Mega Millions was none too kind. This lottery threw a left upper cut with an Australia Play, right crossed with Combinations, and boosted the jackpot to $560 million.

  • 10, 51, MB 5

All these debuted in the earlier-mentioned November 28th drawing. Additionally, repeating Three-Number Combination 10, 51 and 64 debuted June 30, 2017.

Is another Australia Play in the cards for Friday night, and will it knock down that behemoth of a jackpot?

The Mid-Week Summer Spread-out

Don’t you just hate it when a holiday falls during the middle of the week? You’re off that Tuesday, Wednesday, or even Thursday, but then you return to the office the next day. Some have the option of using PTO days, while others are out of luck. PTO or no, Lotto Texas and/or Powerball come to the rescue, right? Except on nights like this past Wednesday’s, when these lotteries have other plans.

July 5, 2023 was a vacation of sorts for Lotto Texas and Powerball. Both lotteries toned it down a bit on the repeating Combinations, but one decided to spread out a bit more. Despite the lotteries’ divergent tracks, their respective jackpots grew to $7 million and $590 million.

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?

The Good(ish) Kind of Streak

There are just some streaks we can do without. An obvious one is a losing streak. But what if that losing streak fuels a good thing? No one wants to lose a lottery drawing. At least, we hope not. However, more money means a bigger nest egg, more freedom, and of course, many of us want that freedom! Alas, that desire will have to burn a bit longer.

Neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball were willing to let players win that easily! Both lotteries saw their jackpots grow to $6.25 million and $493 million, respectively.

Pattern Flings and Playback Teases

The love for a specific Pattern never lasts long. Lotteries are fickle, you see. One moment, a Pattern may show up for long periods of time, and the next it may show up just once. That fickleness also applies to playbacks. Apparently, deciding to whether to go all-in can be a tricky choice for some lotteries! Saturday nights are prime for lottery “fickleness” to be on display.

June 24, 2023 was one of those Saturday nights when both Lotto Texas and Powerball decided to ditch the prospect of Pattern three-peats. Lotto Texas pursued an infrequently played Pattern, whereas Powerball flirted with the idea of a playback but couldn’t quite commit fully to the idea. Nevertheless, both strategies boosted the lotteries’ respective jackpots to $5.75 million and $440 million.

The Double Encore Summer Special

At long last, summer is truly here! Some commemorate the longest day of the year with a pilgrimage to Stonehenge, while others play a ball game at midnight. Others still, like Lotto Texas and Powerball, try to hold on to spring for a little bit longer.

June 21, 2023 was the night for Pattern encores and rising jackpots. As both Lotto Texas and Powerball gave their Monday night Patterns another go, their respective jackpots grew to $5.5 million and $427 million.
