Let Those Jackpots Ride!

There’s a buzz in the air! School’s (letting) out and all that pent-up energy has to go somewhere. The theme parks may not be open yet, but the beaches and great outdoors are as popular as ever. Everyone is looking forward to more daylight, warmer temperatures and hopefully an increasing sense of “normalcy”.

Lotto Texas and Powerball spent the night of May 27, 2020 boosting their stores. With no one picking the six winning numbers, their respective jackpots climbed to $18.25 million and $125 million.

Lotto Texas and Powerball will be bidding May goodbye on Saturday. Will they lead into June with Pattern encores for the {3-3} and the {4-1-1} Patterns?

The Iron Grip of the {3-2-1} Pattern

The {3-2-1} Pattern reigned supreme May 23, 2020. There was, in fact, a {3-2-1} Pattern three-peat in Lotto Texas. However, that wasn’t enough to satiate this Pattern’s appetite. That’s right: the {3-2-1} Pattern also showed up in Powerball! A Pattern’s double appearance did nothing to bring the jackpots down. If anything, that made them grow even more! Lotto Texas grew to $17.5 million and Powerball ballooned to $114 million.

Will the {3-2-1} Pattern continue on to a Pattern streak in Lotto Texas, and will it be bold enough to make an encore in Powerball?

The Grand {3-2-1} Pattern Encore

So, the {3-2-1} Pattern made an encore in Lotto Texas. Big deal. Why yes, it was a big deal!

The {3-2-1} Pattern encore of May 20, 2020 solidified this Pattern as the King of Lotto Texas. Furthermore, this encore produced a repeating Five-Number Combination (and all that it implies) and fueled this lottery’s love of a growing jackpot. This normally unassuming lottery saw its grand prize rise to $17.25 million.

Powerball didn’t ruffle any feathers. However, it too saw its jackpot climb, reaching $104 million.

We’ll be deep in Memorial Day Weekend soon. Will the {3-2-1} Pattern be back for a three-peat, and will the {3-1-1-1} Pattern make an encore?

Lotto Texas and Powerball Get Out and Go

It’s that time of year again! Summer is right around the corner, and with all that’s happened these past few months, everyone is itching to get back to some sense of “normalcy”. The easing of stay-at-home orders is scratching that itch, and what went down May 16, 2020 showed that humans weren’t the only ones who can’t bear to be cooped up for long!

Lotto Texas and Powerball put on their masks and went out and about. All that pent-up energy led to one lottery coming this close to seeing a playback, while another saw a Pattern encore and a similar spread. There were no grand prize winners produced in this madness, and the jackpots climbed once again. Lotto Texas’s jackpot rose to $16.25 million while Powerball’s jumped to $95 million.

Fresh from this past Wednesday, the {3-2-1} Pattern came back for an encore. With winning numbers 2, 17, 31, 33, 34 and 37, this Pattern made its 932^nd appearance.

Now with 154 appearances, the 2 3 1 Specific Order has played in 16.5% of the 932 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 1760 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 8.75% of the time. We last saw the 2 3 1 Specific Order in the April 8, 2020 drawing.

Similar Spread

Saturday’s numbers had the spread of 15:14:02:01:03. This spread is similar to the one that was seen almost seven years ago in the June 8, 2013 drawing. That night, the winning numbers were 14, 28, 29, 44, 46 and 49. The spread was 14:01:15:02:03.

It’s best to remember that when dealing with similar spreads that despite the differences between played numbers being the same, the order in which the numbers played on those nights was different.

Four-Number Combination(s)

Lotto Texas had enough room for three repeating Four-Number Combinations:

2, 17, 33, 37 (Debuted June 5, 2002)
31, 33, 34, 37 (Debuted October 6, 2010)
2, 31, 33, 34 (Debuted November 6, 2002)

With the onward march to summer, will the jackpots continue their rise? Is Lotto Texas gearing up for another {3-2-1} Pattern streak?

Lotto Texas and Powerball Get Their Climb On

No, neither lottery saw a Pattern encore. After what happened this past Saturday, it may be a while yet before we see streaks. Regardless, the results of May 13, 2020 showed that one doesn’t need Pattern streaks to see an increase in the grand prize! With no one able to pick the six winning numbers in either Lotto Texas or Powerball, their respective jackpots rose to $16 million and $86 million.

Will the jackpots continue their climb Saturday night?

The Pattern Streak Double Strikedown

Lotto Texas and Powerball have acted like a playground clique these days. They play together, so it’s expected that they’ll copy each other, or even be in sync with each other now and again. Lately, both lotteries have been in the grip of streaks with their most common Patterns.

On May 9, 2020, the Pattern streaks came to an end. Both the {3-2-1} Pattern and the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streaks were struck down with Australia Plays. That is, the Pattern, General Order (applicable to Powerball only) and the Specific Order were the same. This interesting turn of events kept the jackpots climbing. Lotto Texas rose to $15.25 million and Powerball rose to $77 million.

May the Pattern Streaks Be With You

Love it or hate it, Star Wars has had lasting appeal. Movies, toys, spin-offs, cartoons and more have kept the franchise in our collective conscious for at least four decades.

What does Star Wars have to do with today’s post, you ask? Aside from the title being a (late) nod to Star Wars Day, lotteries, too, have that appeal. Striking it big just by picking the six winning numbers. What’s not to love about that? Except, it’s not as easy as it sounds, and lotteries have a way of thwarting players, and the most appealing method depends on a lottery’s mood.

On May 6, 2020, we saw that Pattern streaks were very appealing to both Lotto Texas and Powerball! As their flaming hot streaks continued, their jackpots rose to $15 million and $68 million, respectively.

Some Streaks are Stronger Than Others

Lotto Texas, Mega Millions and Powerball. One of these lotteries was not like the others these past couple of days. During that time, we saw appearances from the most commonly seen Patterns, solidifying the streak in one lottery and setting one up for the other. Those lotteries also saw their jackpots rise to $14.25 million and $59 million.

Those lotteries were Lotto Texas and Powerball, respectively.

The End-of-April Encore Doubleheader

In yesterday’s blog post, we analyzed the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore in Mega Millions, and the resulting aftermath. Apparently, the urge to end the month with an encore, and with the most commonly seen Pattern no less, was contagious! Not only did Lotto Texas and Powerball end April with Pattern encores, one such encore was a three-peat! With no grand prize winners to be had, the jackpot for Lotto Texas rose to $13.75 million. Powerball, now used to its “slimmer” state, saw its jackpot rise to $51 million.

As May approaches, will the {3-2-1} Pattern streak hold for Lotto Texas, and will Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern see a three-peat?

Pushing Ever Upward

Lotteries are resilient beasts. Little if anything can stop them and their jackpots grow wherever there’s an open space. Only having at least one player choose all six winning numbers acts as a wall to uncontrollable growth.

April 25, 2020 was a testament to that resilient nature. With no grand prize winners, the jackpots naturally continued their climb. Lotto Texas, ever dignified, rose to $13.25 million. Meanwhile, Powerball rose to $43 million.
