If you don’t like the state of things in the lottery world,
wait a few days.
Things certainly did change for Mega Millions this
past Friday. Even though a Pattern encore wasn’t in the cards, there was a visit
from a recent “break-up”. Well, that and the prize money increased to $55
million.

There were also two
repeating Three-Number Combinations:
Lotto Texas and Powerball may have played the day after
Valentine’s Day, but love was still in the air! Saturday night is a
traditional date night, no matter the time of year. One lottery courted a playback,
and the other courted a Pattern encore. These power couples gave the players
what-for, and the jackpots rose yet again. Lotto Texas climbed to $7.25 million
and Powerball rose to $50 million.

Nothing lasts forever. What goes up must come down. What do

These fine clichés applied to Mega Millions this past Tuesday night. Thanks to a single player from New Jersey, the current cycle of a rising jackpot came to an end. In turn, the prize money up for grabs reset to $40 million.

Will it be cheeky enough to come back for an encore Friday night?
Pattern encores. Playbacks. Australia Plays. All these and
more are part of The Lottery Playbook™. Lotto Texas, Powerball, and Mega
Millions like to reference this book to keep things exciting. What happens then
when no such major plays (or apparent ones) happen in a lottery drawing? Does
that mean a quiet night?
Well, it depends. Quieter nights often occur when the
playbook is thrown out. Sometimes, depending on the Pattern, it could be the
start of something grander. One way to get started on that path is by sending
the prizes upward. The aftermath of this past Saturday night was a $6.75
million prize for Lotto Texas and $70 million for Powerball.

Although the
{3-1-1-1} Pattern encore wasn’t mean to be, is a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore in
the cards for Tuesday’s drawing?
It’s a fact of life in the lottery world that some Patterns
don’t get as much play as others. Sometimes, when those uncommon Patterns play,
they leave a big impact.
This past Wednesday night saw the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak
come to an end in Powerball. Likewise, the {3-2-1} Pattern streak of Lotto
Texas was over before it could even start. All that was left were jackpots that
rose to $60 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

when it plays, one best pay attention.
This {3-1-1-1} Pattern was the one that thwarted the players’

Ever have those moments where it feels like you’re shouting
into a void? That feeling when the only people who hear you are actually your
own echoes?
There were echoes and both Lotto Texas and Powerball this
past Wednesday. One lottery’s echoes reflected back on the Christmas/New Year’s
timeframe, or thereabouts, and its jackpot rose to $6 million. The other had a
monstrous jackpot that was slain by an intrepid player from Florida with the
combined powers of a Pattern streak and a playback. Naturally, its
jackpot reset to $40 million.

Even with the
Powerball jackpot claimed, February doesn’t look to be starting off quietly. The
Super Bowl is this weekend: a perfect opportunity for the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern
streak to hold up! Will there also be room for another playback (or two)?
When we prop up the hood of a lottery, we expect to find a
Pattern, a Specific Order, and for Mega Millions and Powerball, a General
Order. Sometimes we’ll find Pattern streaks or something wilder, like an
Australia Play or maybe a playback. With January about to end, what better send
off than one of those wild plays?
Well, folks, it happened again. Mega Millions once again flirted
with a playback. This was enough to thwart players and the jackpot went
unclaimed. It grew, naturally, to $155 million.
