Love is Around the Corner!

Hello, Lotterytrend Fans! This is guest blogger, Romulun Harris, giving you the latest lottery updates.

The February 9th Playback Spectacle

Momentum was ramped up Saturday night! For starters, Lotto Texas went ahead full throttle. This normally unassuming lottery appears to have developed a newfound spunk. Its affliction with Playback Fever was only tempered by its respectable $7 million grand prize.

Powerball, often seen as the grander of the two, showed a few symptoms of the Fever as well. However, a surprise Specific Order kept it from completely taking over. The prize continued climbing towards stratospheric heights, now standing at $242 million.

February has been a strong month for both Lotto Texas and Powerball so far. Will the momentum continue with more playbacks or a Pattern encore Wednesday night?

Mega Millions’ Friday Night Chill

The Pattern streak is a tried and true method for maintaining momentum across lotteries. Although Mega Millions’ Pattern streak ended earlier this week, other momentous plays include, but or not limited to, playbacks, Australia Plays, and of course, jackpots that extend beyond the stratosphere. Although the February 8, 2019 drawing saw neither of these, the grand prize did rise once more. With the jackpot now $173 million, it may not be much longer before Mega Millions is struck with “crazy-high jackpot fever”!

In the meantime, Mega Millions kept things low-key.

Having been “derailed” in this past Tuesday’s drawing, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made a quick comeback. Will it try to reestablish a Pattern streak with an encore in Tuesday’s drawing?

Bye Bye Streaky

A horrible pun for the February 5, 2019 Mega Millions drawing? But of course!

Repeats on Full Blast

If you’re one to believe in the predictive powers of groundhogs, then spring will come early. If you look over at Lotto Texas and Powerball, spring is getting off to an early start.

February has just gotten started and the lotteries show no sign of letting winter get the better of them. Currently, the longest Pattern streak is indeed held by the {3-2-1} Pattern in Lotto Texas, with eight consecutive appearances. Will the Pattern tie the record and will Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern get a Pattern streak going Wednesday night?

A “Four”-ceful Start

February: The last (full) month of winter. It being the shortest month of the year is a godsend for everyone waiting for the seasons to change!

Mega Millions sprang into the new month by taking a page from the Lotto Texas playbook. A solid Pattern streak emerged in the February 1st, 2019 drawing. With no grand prize winner, the prize rose once more to $139 million.

Whether Mega Millions will see a crazy-high jackpot anytime soon remains to be seen. Regardless, the lottery so far carries a lot of momentum. Will this continue with a {2-1-1-1-1} “five-peat” in Tuesday’s drawing?

The Six Lives of the {3-2-1} Pattern

January truly was the month of the {3-2-1} Pattern and the results of Wednesday’s Lotto Texas drawing fortified it. This (normally) unassuming little lottery, what with its now $6.25 million prize, played its most common Pattern for the sixth time in a row!

Although Powerball didn’t see a Pattern encore, it too saw its most common Pattern make a play. The jackpot increased to $191 million, which gave it a boost going into February.

There was one Pattern that dominated the month and that was the {3-2-1}. This Pattern found itself more at home in Lotto Texas on January 26, 2019. Meanwhile, Powerball stuck with one of its more common Patterns. But, one thing that can be said about both lotteries is that with no grand prize winners, their respective jackpots rose to $6 million and $174 million.

Melting Through The Ice

According to meteorology, January 25th says winter, but Mega Millions said, “No more!” Having decided to no longer give in to the cold, it broke free of its icy prison Friday night. Things heated up with a Pattern encore.  With a grand prize now at $106 million, maybe it could help create a warming trend?
