One Jackpot Falls. Another Stands

The ride of a jackpot high has to end sometime, and on January 15, 2020, that time came for one lottery. Lotto Texas came into the new year riding on the high of its increasing jackpot. With the $17.5 million prize now won, the jackpot reset itself to $5 million. The Powerball jackpot stood firm, rising to $321 million.

Reduced-Strength Encore and a Combination Triple Offense

The weekend is a cherished time. It’s meant to be the two-day reprieve from the grinds of work and school. It’s a time to catch up, a time to hang out, and a time to rest.

Lotto Texas most certainly took the “rest” part to heart. There was indeed a {4-2} Pattern encore, but this appearance wasn’t nearly as explosive. An over-the-top play wasn’t needed to send the jackpot to $17.5 million.

Powerball kept it classy. However, underneath that class was a monster of a jackpot that underwent another growth spurt. The prize climbed to $296 million.

When we said the {4-2} Pattern’s encore wasn’t as explosive, we meant to say, “There weren’t any repeating Four-Number Combinations.”

Three-Number Combination(s)

There was just a single repeating Three-Number Combination, one that played twice before:

Two questions weigh on our minds as we head into Wednesday: Will the {4-2} Pattern be bold enough to go for a three-peat in Lotto Texas? Will the prizes in both Lotto Texas and Powerball continue to grow, or will they be reset?

Part of a Balanced Lottery Diet

One week ago, Mega Millions found itself in the grip of a lull. That Friday night was your “standard” drawing. No encores or other big plays to speak of, and no repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Oh, what a difference a week makes!

We’re not sure what got into Mega Millions this past Friday night, but it decided to indulge in a diet rich in repeating Three-Number Combinations. This was in addition to a {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore. With no one able to match all six numbers, the jackpot rose to $91 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Fresh from this past Tuesday, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 146th appearance! The winning numbers for January 10, 2020 were 17, 27, 49, 51, 66, and MB 2.

The Combination you see above made its debut in the May 29, 2015 drawing. If you recall, the last time we saw a repeating Four-Number Combination in Mega Millions was Christmas Eve 2019. How often do we get to witness two repeating Four-Number Combinations within the span of a few weeks?

Three-Number Combinations

Naturally, this repeating Four-Number Combination spawned four repeating Three-Number Combinations:

  • 27, 49, 66
  • 27, 49, MB 2
  • 27, 66, MB 2
  • 49, 66, MB 2

These Combinations debuted in the May 29th drawing mentioned earlier.

Four repeating Three-Number Combinations would be a good place to stop, but Mega Millions had another idea. Why stop at just four when it could have four more?

Will Mega Million continue to include massive helpings of repeating Three-Number Combinations next week?

“Wild Wednesday” with Lotto Texas and Powerball

Lull? What lull?

Lotto Texas, known for its chastity and civility (compared to Mega Millions and Powerball anyway) was anything but chaste or civil! When it came to wild and unruly, this lottery reigned supreme. This uncharacteristic behavior sent the jackpot to an even $17 million.

Powerball didn’t act foolish, and perhaps it didn’t need to. The massive jackpot, which rose to $277 million, helped this lottery preserve the appearance of dignity.

Weekend at Lotteries’

The first weekend of 2020 got off a quiet start in the lottery world. For instance, “sister” lottery Mega Millions went into hibernation mode this past Friday. The payoff was a larger jackpot heading into Tuesday. Now, how long that will last is anyone’s guess.

Lotto Texas and Powerball copied their “sister” and decided to take it easy. Powerball was able to exert a bit more energy though, with a couple of showings from repeating Three-Number Combinations. That was overshadowed by the jackpot rising to $258 million. Lotto Texas may have been at rest, but it wasn’t about to pass up the opportunity to send its jackpot to $16.5 million.

The Future is {3-2-1}

Happy New Year, everyone! Some ways to start the new year include singing “Auld Lang Syne” (poorly), drinking, binge watching movies, watching the Rose Bowl, and playing lottery. Now, one of these things isn’t like the others. Having an opportunity to win millions of dollars on the very first day of a new year doesn’t happen on years that begin on Sunday, Monday, or Thursday.

New Year’s Day 2020 had two opportunities: Lotto Texas and Powerball. They kicked off the year by mostly keeping to themselves. This (mostly) quiet night saw the jackpots rise to $16.25 million in Lotto Texas and $237 million in Powerball.

End-of-Year Lottery Bundle

Another year has come and gone! As a token of appreciation, Lotto Texas and Powerball offered another opportunity to win millions, enough for that tropical getaway. Repeating Four-Number Combinations were thrown in with Lotto Texas at no additional charge. Thing is, no one could claim the grand prize in either lottery this past Saturday.

With no grand prizes claimed in either lottery, their respective jackpots rose to $14.75 million and $200 million.

This past Saturday marked the Winter Solstice in our part of the world. Not cold enough for a parka (very rarely does it ever get that cold in Houston) but cold enough for a jacket, hot cocoa, and of course, playing the lottery!

Lotto Texas and Powerball had the honor of showing up for Solstice this year. They must have read each other’s minds because both of them saw encores for their most common Patterns! That, and said encores boosted their respective lottery’s jackpot to $14.25 million and $183 million.

Three-Number Combination(s)

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore was a solo act.

Will either the {3-2-1} Pattern or the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern go for a three-peat Christmas night?

The Ghost of December 11th

Quick! What comes to mind when you see December 18th, other than “There’s only one week until Christmas”? Hopefully you’ve at least started your Christmas prep by now! If you haven’t, well, best get to it.

While (some of) you were tempting fate, Lotto Texas and Powerball prepared by boosting their jackpots to $13.5 million and $171 million, respectively. This past Wednesday was almost exactly like December 11th, save for the numbers that played of course. One of these lotteries saw a playback, while the other came close. Which one saw what?
