From Playbacks to A Combination Blowout

Blowout. Now, there’s a term not often associated with Easter. Sure, there’s the egg hunts and the marshmallow Peeps, but compared to Christmas and even Mardi Gras, Easter is the software programmer who mainly keeps to himself. However, the reserved nature of the holiday itself may have no bearing on what happens the night before. This is certainly true of those who pay no mind to human conventions, like lotteries.

Lotto Texas and Powerball certainly paid no mind to the fact that April 16, 2022 was the day before Easter. In fact, Saturday night’s results were a blowout compared to what we saw earlier this week! Another playback in Lotto Texas propelled the jackpot to $9.5 million. Although Powerball didn’t see a playback, the use of a repeating Four-Number Combination, to devastating effect, sent the jackpot soaring to $348 million.

Are more playbacks in store for Lotto Texas, and will Powerball’s jackpot remain a beast in the week ahead?

From Minnesota to Tennessee, it’s a $20 Million Kind of Week

When it came to the art of thwarting lottery players, this was not Mega Millions’ week! After the massive jackpot was won on Tuesday, it reset, naturally, to $20 million. Who would have thought that after Friday night, the jackpot remained at $20 million?

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s Double Playback Extravaganza

A special thanks to Romulun Harris for filling in last night at short notice. Your work is always appreciated!

A collective sigh of relief is let out on Wednesday evenings. For many workers and students, the week is halfway over, and the fog is starting to lift. Some, in kind, lift a glass to toast their making it to another midweek. Others lift a lottery ticket (or two, or three…) and play in the hopes that they won’t need to endure another week workin’ for The Man™. Often, the grind continues. It’s even more of an upset when there are two lotteries in play, and they decide to take a note from each other’s playbook.

April 13, 2022 meant not one but two playbacks! Admittedly, Lotto Texas took the “easy” route with an Australia Play, but that pushed the jackpot to $9.25 million just as well. Powerball liked a challenge, going with a different approach, which in turn boosted its jackpot to $325 million.

That {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern in Powerball is quite a character. Apparently, Monday night was just a breather! After all, if a streak happened just recently, why can’t another? Saturday night is just as good a time as any to feature a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore, or even an Australia Play encore. We’ll just have to see what these two have in store!

Springtime Lottery Fashion

Those who accessorize may have a love/hate relationship with seasonal fashions. For example, a necklace that pairs well with an oversized sweater may look downright gaudy when paired with a sleeveless maxi dress. Of course, no two springs or two autumns are exactly alike. This is especially true of lottery drawings.

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s fashion for April 9, 2022 couldn’t be any more different. One lottery pulled out a Pattern that normally doesn’t get much play. Meanwhile, the other continued to stick with the Pattern that came onto the scene last weekend! Regardless of approach, the result for both Lotto Texas and Powerball was the same. Their respective jackpots climbed to $8.75 million and $268 million.

A Specific Order Springs Up

Spring is the season of new beginnings. April is full of them! For baseball fans, it’s the start of a new season. While April may be the penultimate month of the school year for many students in the Northern Hemisphere, students in Japan are returning to school during this time. There’s nothing specific to lotteries in April, but when big changes coincide with changing seasons, it’s noteworthy.

For Mega Millions, April 8, 2022 was a night to remember. One of its least commonly played Patterns made an appearance. Although noteworthy in and of itself, the main event was the debut of a Specific Order. This play proved powerful enough to send the Mega Millions jackpot over the $100 million line – $106 million, to be precise!

General Lottery Analysis

Showered with a Pattern Streak Blocker

Mega Millions began April the same way it said “Goodbye” to March, with the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern.
