The Powerball Wednesday Night Three-Peat

February 24, 2021, belonged to Powerball. This lottery saw its jackpot cross over the $100 million threshold ($106 million), thanks to another repeat appearance by the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. If you ever wondered why this Pattern is the most common in Powerball, thank repeats!

Lotto Texas, ever so classy, didn’t see a winner, either. As Powerball went about grandstanding, this lottery’s jackpot quietly rose to $6 million.

Will Saturday night be a Pattern repeat night for both Lotto Texas and Powerball?

The Good Kind of Encore

There are few things people ever want to relive. A devastating hurricane, for one. Sitting in a cold, dark house for nearly three days in subfreezing temperatures is another. On the opposite end of the spectrum are things so wonderful you want to relive them again, like winning a contest or lottery Pattern encores.

That last one wasn’t a typo.

Between Lotto Texas and Powerball, one of these lotteries saw a Pattern encore February 20, 2021. Now, both lotteries did see an increase in their jackpots. Lotto Texas rose to $5.75 million and Powerball ascended to $90 million. Which of these jokers saw the Pattern encore? Keep reading!

Back to Your Regularly Scheduled Mega Millions

Mega Millions waits for no man, or no blog, rather. Instead of eating king cake, listening to zydeco, and bringing you the latest analysis, we, along with millions of others, were sitting in the dark and working to keep warm. Now that our power has been restored, it’s back to business.

One thing that can be said about the Mardi Gras 2021 drawing is that someone from New Jersey (Joisey!) won the coveted $96 million and the lottery’s jackpot reset itself to $20 million. A Pattern encore wasn’t in the cards February 19, 2021 but Friday night didn’t disappoint if you like rising jackpots! And who doesn’t? With no one matching the six winning numbers, the prize jumped to $22 million.

Fired Up Lotteries

February 13, 2021 was a bitterly cold night for so many people in Lottery Trend Country. Lotto Texas and Powerball, being lotteries and all, were immune and kept on trucking!

3, 2, 1…and Combinations!

February 12, 2021 was a wild night for Mega Millions. For starters, it decided to go out on a date with one of its least commonly played Patterns. That sent players foaming at the mouth. However, the prize jumped to $96 million, so the foaming was short-lived.

The biggest draw of the evening was the appearance of six, yes six, repeating Three-Number Combinations! Was this by an assist from a repeating Four-Number Combo, or was it by something else? Let’s find out!

Given the history of Mega Millions’ {3-2-1} Pattern, it isn’t likely that they’ll be together Tuesday night. If 2020 is anything to go by, then anything is possible!

19 Days Later

It was 19 days ago that Mega Millions had a beast of a jackpot. The beast was struck down, and was forced to reset, naturally. Nearly three weeks have passed, and Mega Millions was as healthy as ever! No one was able to obtain the grand prize, which gave the jackpot a boost to $82 million.

Friday Night Date with the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern

You’d think that with Mega Millions having a drawing on Groundhog Day that there’d be a {3-1-1-1} Pattern encore. A “Groundhog Week”, for lack of a better term.

Playback and Something Like It

The playback buzz was in the air this past Wednesday night. Its presence was certainly felt in Lotto Texas and although it grabbed a hold of Powerball, it didn’t stick the landing. The only thing these lotteries had in common February 3, 2021 was rising jackpots. These rose to $6 million and $30 million, respectively.

Fate wasn’t kind to those who want rising Powerball jackpots.

What about Lotto Texas? Well, this lottery kept to itself. As Powerball got knocked down, Lotto Texas climbed to $5.75 million.
