2020: The Great and Terrible

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. After some of the most gut-wrenching, devastating, and mind-boggling months in recent history, 2020 will be over in a matter of weeks. In the meantime, 2020 paid a visit to Lotto Texas and Powerball December 9^th. This visitation was enough to edge out all the other years completely.

However, those who cheer for increasing jackpots will be happy to hear that the prizes did indeed increase! Lotto Texas grew to a respectable $5.75 million and Powerball ascended to $277 million.

Will 2020 reign supreme date-wise, or will others push through Saturday night?

The Ghost of October 21st

What’s Christmas without at least one reference to A Christmas Carol? Whether you’ve seen the various adaptations or read it, you know about the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Believe it or not, this perennial Christmas classic is tied to today’s post.

Lotteries are constantly visited by the past; that’s part of their nature, and what makes Lottery Trend possible. What made December 5, 2020 interesting was the prominence of the number 21. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball were visited (haunted?) by the ghost of October 21. The visitation generated a boost to both their jackpots! Lotto Texas rose to $5.5 million and Powerball’s prize climbed to $262 million.

Similar Spread

Even though a playback didn’t happen, there was indeed a similar spread!

Saturday’s night spread was 01:02:42:05. A spread that was similar to this was spotted July 11, 2020. That night, the winning numbers were 14, 19, 61, 62, 64, and PB4. The Spread was 05:42:01:02. Note how that even though the differences between the numbers played were the same, their orders were different.

No repeating Three-Number Combinations for Powerball this time.

Will next week be one where Pattern streaks and similar spreads dominate, or will the lotteries have other plans?

No Room for Pattern Encores

December has started, and the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone (or frozen). Most everyone has gone back to work and school, though with another holiday right around the corner, it’s easy to stay in a festive mood! Lotteries get in the holiday mood with Australia Plays, Pattern streaks, and playbacks, just to name a few things.

Mega Millions had the idea of starting the month with a Pattern streak. Lotto Texas and Powerball had other ideas. Pattern encores were absent, but they weren’t needed to boost the jackpots. With no one able to pick the six winning numbers in either lottery, their respective jackpots rose to $5.25 million and $243 million.

Extended Stay and Leftovers

Are you still sleeping off those Thanksgiving leftovers? Want to wait until the last possible moment to travel back home before enduring another school/work week (even if it is from home)? Stay for a few more days! That’s what happened to Lotto Texas.

The night of November 28, 2020 saw a {3-3} Pattern encore and it was thanks to that encore that someone became $9 million richer! Naturally, the prize reset itself to $5 million.

Although Powerball didn’t see a Pattern encore, there was a playback. No one was able to claim the grand prize, and thus, the jackpot climbed to $231 million.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our U.S. readers. Stay safe and use good judgement!

Many of us have “those relatives”. They seem to only come by during the holiday season, gifting you and the family with something cool or hoarding the pie. Or you’ve only met them once or twice when you were a little kid and don’t see them again until several years later (if ever).

The Patterns that played in both Lotto Texas and Powerball on November 25, 2020 were much like those relatives. These rarely seen Patterns had their say and boy did they have a lot to say! So much, in fact, that the jackpot climbed to $9 million in Lotto Texas and $216 million in Powerball.

A {3-2-1} Kind of Night

3, 2, 1. These are the last numbers in a countdown. In the lottery world, they hold a special significance, for they make up a Pattern. Its presence, though, isn’t uniform. Lotto Texas is visited by this Pattern the most and doesn’t get nearly as much play in Powerball (or Mega Millions).

But, on November 21, 2020, the {3-2-1} Pattern put in double time and paid a visit to both Lotto Texas and Powerball! With that, the jackpots grew once more. Lotto Texas grew to $8.75M and Powerball crossed $200 million ($202 million).

The Trendy Repeating Four-Number Combination

The repeating Four-Number Combination is no stranger to Lotto Texas. Where things get messy is when such a Combination appears in either Mega Millions or Powerball. Last weekend saw Powerball catch the bug and on November 20, 2020, it spread to Mega Millions. With the repeating Four-Number Combination came a quartet of repeating Three-Number Combinations (naturally speaking) and a prize that jumped to $200 million.

This was in addition to a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore!

Repeating Four-Number Combinations: The Aftermath

Two repeating Four-Number Combinations: one in Lotto Texas, and one in Powerball. That last mention wasn’t a typo. A Powerball’s repeating Four-Number Combination always gives birth to four repeating Three-Number Combinations. It’s a law of nature.

All that happened over the weekend. Then came November 18, 2020 and both Lotto Texas and Powerball were still picking up the pieces. They were too exhausted to deal with Pattern encores or anything fancy like an Australia Play. Only one lottery had the strength to play a repeating Four-Number Combination (three guesses who) but they both saw a jump in their jackpots. Lotto Texas grew to $8.5 million and Powerball grew to $192 million.

Revenge of the Repeating Four-Number Combinations

Today’s Lottery Binge is brought to you by repeating Four-Number Combinations. Oh sure, they tend to happen in Lotto Texas, but what happens if at least one Four-Number Combination is spotted in Powerball? You get bombarded, that’s what!

That’s not all that happened November 14, 2020, either. No one was able to match the six magic numbers in either Lotto Texas or Powerball. Naturally, their respective jackpots climbed to $8.25 million and $179 million.

Stick By Your Australia Play

World War I, also known as The Great War, ended November 11, 1918. This day came to be known as Veterans’ Day in the United States, and Remembrance Day across the Commonwealth nations of Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. November 11, 2020 happened to fall on a lottery day this year. Lotto Texas and Powerball kept it classy. The rowdiest play, if it could be called that, was an encore for an Australia Play. With no one picking the six winning numbers for either Lotto Texas or Powerball, their respective jackpots grew to $8 million and $168 million.
