Frantic Fondness for (Repeating) Four-Number Combinations

With more businesses closing and more people forced to stay home, Lotto Texas and Powerball are still stir-crazy. Repeating Four-Number Combinations reared their heads once again in Lotto Texas, and would you believe this frenzy spread to Powerball? This frantic embracement of repeating Four-Number Combinations led to more jackpot increases. Lotto Texas climbed to $9.75 million and Powerball settled at $150 million.

From a similar spread in Powerball to a newfound love of repeating Four-Number Combinations in both lotteries, this has been quite a week! Will next week be more of the same or will another form of methodical madness take control?

Lotto Texas and Powerball Go Stir Crazy

As toilet paper remains in limited supply and people discover basic hygiene (Seriously, y’all. Wash your hands), Lotto Texas and Powerball are kicking back. They’re above such worries like soap and viruses, since they don’t get sick and all. Even if they can lord it over humans that they’re immune to every disease ever, there is one thing that not even a poised lottery like Lotto Texas is immune to: Going nuts.

Both lotteries thought “Throwing things to a wall and see what sticks” was a fun way to pass the time Wednesday night. Based on our analysis, a lot of things got stuck! During the cleanup process, a couple of jackpot hikes were salvaged. Lotto Texas climbed to $9.5 million while Powerball struck gold at $140 million.

Similar Spread

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore wasn’t all Powerball had in its arsenal. Wednesday night also produced a similar spread!

The spread for Wednesday night’s numbers was 12:17:15:04. This is similar to the one that was seen in the December 21, 2019 drawing. That night, the winning numbers were 19, 31, 35, 50, 67, and PB 14 and the spread was 12:04:15:17. Remember that when dealing with similar spreads even though the differences between drawn numbers are the same, the order will be different.

Some Patterns Like to Repeat Themselves

This week belonged to the Australia Play! Lotto Texas saw this plucky play go for the encore Saturday night. With no one able to pick all six numbers, the jackpot climbed to $9.25 million.

Powerball didn’t see the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat, although it was close to embracing a playback. A jackpot increasing to $130 million was proof that a “regular” play can be just as effective, all things considered.

The Playback, the Encore, and the Combination Madness

The world is currently in the grip of a pandemic. Closures and cancellations are happening left and right, work-at-home policies are being enacted, and toilet paper might as well be gold. Now is the time to plan ahead, practice good hygiene and use common sense. When others are losing their cool, don’t lose yours.

Considering all that’s happening, lotteries are the lucky ones. After all, they don’t worry themselves with illnesses or economies. Their biggest concern is their jackpots and what to do with them. Should they throw players a bone and let them win, or is it more fun to thwart them? Sure, the players will be spitting nails and gnashing their teeth, but many of them will come back and try again.

In a move that surprised (almost) no one, Lotto Texas and Powerball opted to thwart the players Wednesday night. This sent their respective jackpots to $9 million and $120 million.

Spring is fast approaching. If a peek at the calendar hasn’t convinced you (Did you remember to spring forward?), then surely the displays of four-leaf clovers and Easter baskets have!

To commemorate the arrival of spring, Lotto Texas and Powerball embraced their most common Patterns. One Pattern saw the makings of a Pattern streak. With no grand prize winners for either Lotto Texas or Powerball, their respective jackpots climbed to $8.75 million and $110 million.

Change of Seasons, Change of Patterns

Seasons have a set time when they appear and a set time when they leave. They cycle through the year, and even when one season “intrudes” on another, they generally respect each other.

Lotteries are much less cordial. Patterns and wild plays come and go as they please. An occasional Pattern streak may occur, but the order of things is “madness”.

March 4, 2020 saw one Pattern stick by its lottery and another went for something different. Both choices sent the jackpots upward. Lotto Texas settled into a nice $8.5 million and Powerball reached the $100 million benchmark.

No, it’s not time to spring forward; that’s next weekend.

What took place this weekend was a little thing called “Leap Day”. An extra day in February meant more time for Lotto Texas and Powerball to simultaneously offer riches and frustrate players. If the results of February 29th, 2020 are anything to go by, the lotteries did just that! Wild plays weren’t needed to send the prize in Lotto Texas to $8.25 million and Powerball shot up to $90 million.

Anyone hoping for a Pattern streak in either Lotto Texas or Powerball would find this past Wednesday disappointing. Pattern streaks would’ve been one heck of a lead-in to March! On one hand, the jackpots did increase, with Lotto Texas climbing to $8 million and Powerball settling for $80 million.
