Jackpots Still Springing Forward

Greetings, Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here. On March 14, 2022, just after the clocks sprung forward, the jackpots of Lotto Texas and Powerball sprung up to $6 million and $133 million respectively. I salute those jackpots for resetting and building themselves back up. And now, the details.

LOTTO TEXAS

There are times when things spring forward or fall back. Those things also include the still-increasing jackpots of Lotto Texas and Powerball. How high will they go? This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe!

Springing Forward the Lotto Texas and Powerball Way

Time travel is more than a science fiction staple: it’s the wish of many people. Who wouldn’t want to go back to 20 years ago and fix a blunder or fast-forward into the future to see what the world will really be like in 5,000 years? Until we develop our own time traveling DeLorean, or something like it, we’ll just have to stick with riveting tales. Or do we?

If you think about it, we’re continuously traveling through time. In fact, there’s an even more special form of time travel that happens once a year in some parts of the world, a time when all the digital clocks jump ahead one hour. Other clocks, of course, need to be manually pushed ahead. That time is Daylight Saving Time. As some grumble about losing an hour of sleep while others welcome the change, lotteries don’t notice. They’re too busy drawing from the past to notice (and of course, they’re lotteries).

March 12, 2022 was just another Saturday night for Lotto Texas and Powerball. Free from the yearly ritual of setting the clock, they were each happy to set their jackpots ahead! Lotto Texas held strong at $5.75 million, and Powerball powered up to $124 million.

Mega Millions: Springing into an Encore

Spring may be right around the corner, but it doesn’t quite feel like it. Just when you think you can put away the winter coat, you end up needing it again! This exercise of “Coat or no coat?” may continue for a few more days, or even a few more weeks. Lotteries generally don’t think about which Patterns they play. They stick with a Pattern and run with it, come what may.

Take Mega Millions, for instance. There were no internal conflicts regarding whether it should stick with the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern or cast it aside for another. Mega Millions swiftly made the decision to kick off the weekend with a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore. That helped push the jackpot gently upward to $22 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore of March 11, 2022 was made possible by 24, 28, 39, 44, 66 and MB 25. This Pattern has now played 321 times.

The [2-1-1-1-1] General Order, now with 79 appearances, has played in 24.6% of the 321 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 757 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 10.4% of the time. The [2-1-1-1-1] General Order was last seen January 25, 2022.

Now with 18 appearances, the 0 2 1 1 1 1 Specific Order has played in 22.8% of the 79 drawings where the General Order was [2-1-1-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 5.61% of the 321 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 2.38% of all 757 drawings. Prior to Friday night, the 0 2 1 1 1 1 Specific Order played July 30, 2021.

The Midweek Double Lottery Hop

Many of us breathe a little easier on Wednesday nights. The work week (and school week) is 60% over, and there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. In other parts of the world, Wednesday is like Friday for us.

Lotto Texas and Powerball had reason to celebrate March 9, 2022. As they jumped into Wednesday night, they each came out the other side with an Australia Play! Additionally, the jackpots received an extra kick. Lotto Texas’s jackpot grew to a respectable $5.5 million, and Powerball’s climbed to $112 million.

Mega Millions’ March Reset

Jackpots rise to a certain threshold then come tumbling down. Whether it’s $47 million or over $1 billion, once the prize is won, the jackpot resets, and the cycle repeats. We call it the “rise-reset-rise” cycle.

Mega Millions entered the “Reset” leg of the cycle Tuesday night. Just as someone in New York became $126 million richer (pre-taxes), the jackpot was reset to $20 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern of March 8, 2022 not only enriched a player from New York, it blocked a {2-2-1-1} Pattern three-peat from taking place. With 7, 18, 38, 58, 64 and MB 24, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 320th appearance.

The [1-1-1-2-1] General Order, now with 71 appearances, has played in 22.2% of the 320 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 756 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 9.39% of the time.

Now with 17 appearances, the 1 1 1 0 2 1 Specific Order has played in 23.9% of the 71 drawings where the General Order was [1-1-1-2-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 5.31% of the 320 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 2.25% of all 756 drawings.

Prior to Tuesday night, both the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order and the 1 1 1 0 2 1 Specific Order played February 1, 2022.

Powerball’s jackpot, on the other hand, increased to $99 million. And now, the details.

Lotto Texas’s won jackpot may have not been high this time. But sooner or later, we will see a big jackpot from it again. This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe.

Of Resets and Risings

“Rise-reset-rise” can be thought of as a lottery’s circle of life. Jackpots rise, reset, and rise again, with the length of time between the initial rise and the inevitable reset varying. This cycle has existed for as long as there have been lotteries and will continue until they are no more.

The cycle was on display March 5, 2022. After a few of weeks of seeing a slow and steady jackpot increase, Lotto Texas was forced to reset, starting over at $5 million. Meanwhile, Powerball escaped the call to reset for now; its jackpot continued onward to $90 million.

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern Spirit Lives On

Mardi Gras may have been just what we needed to kick off March 2022. After two years’ worth of pandemic precautions (and panic), not to mention current events, festive days help us forget about all that for a minute. However, all parties must end, and it’s back to the “real world” until we find something else to help us forget about our troubles.

Even though the calendar read “March 4, 2022”, some weren’t ready to let go of the Mardi Gras spirit just yet. “Memories are great, they’re wonderful, but” said the ones who didn’t let go, “What about another go-around?”

Mega Millions had another go-around. Doubling down on the {2-2-1-1} Pattern led to a jackpot that grew to $126 million!

Lotto Texas and Powerball Ride the Encore Wave

Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday couldn’t be any more different. The former is a day of festivities and for some, outright debauchery. In contrast, the latter is a day of repentance for Christians, especially Catholics. Priests place ash crosses on the heads of worshipers, which symbolizes the acknowledgement of sin, and the acknowledgement that from dust we came and to dust we shall return (hence, the ashes). It’s also the first day of Lent, a forty-day period of fasting (or giving up something one enjoys) that ends on Palm Sunday.  All of this concludes exactly one week before Easter.  Two days before the end of that week is referred to as the Passion of the Christ, the last twelve hours of Jesus’ Life on the day of His Crucifixion, celebrated by Christians as Good Friday.

Ash Wednesday, that is, March 2, 2022, was anything but a time of inner reflection for either Lotto Texas or Powerball. Both lotteries went wild with Pattern encores and boosted their respective jackpots to $6.75 million and $85 million.
