If you’re reading this from the U.S., then you know Thanksgiving
is almost here! Whether you’re having a small dinner or a gigantic feast, there’s
always something about holiday meals where you must remember so many little
things.
There was nothing little about Mega Millions this past
Tuesday! No big play was needed to send the jackpot over the $200 million line.
Who wouldn’t want $208 million just before the holiday season really
kicks off?

The [1-3-1-1] General Order, now with 32 appearances, has played in 33.3% of the 96 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern.

Three-Number
Combination(s)
There were two repeating Three-Number Combinations:
Thanksgiving is a little less than two weeks away and
Christmas is even further in the future, decorations and pre-Thanksgiving holiday
parties aside. The natural thing to do, at least for Lotto Texas and Powerball,
is to hold off on any big plays. For the most part, that’s exactly what
happened this past Saturday night. A Pattern four-peat sent the prize in Lotto
Texas to $8.75 million. Powerball saw no such thing, but one wasn’t needed to
push the jackpot to $80 million.

Three-Number
Combination(s)
Powerball saw no need to tackle repeating Three-Number
Combinations.
Lotto Texas has a streak going with its {3-2-1} Pattern. Whether
that streak continues next week is something to keep an eye out for. Powerball
may need to be added that “Watch out” list, too. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern is also
fond of making repeat appearances…
For those of you out there clamoring to see a playback in
Mega Millions, this past Friday didn’t deliver. Rather than focus on the negatives,
we’re going to focus on the positives. It’s the weekend after all, and Mega
Millions didn’t skimp out on other goodies! This lottery saw an encore not just
with the Pattern, but the General Order as well. Throw in a repeating
Three-Number Combination and this proved enough madness to send the jackpot to
$192 million.

A playback may not be in Mega Millions’ future anytime soon, but a
{2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat might be! This Pattern is the most commonly seen
in Mega Millions and it’s fond of trying to get Pattern streaks going. Going
into next Tuesday, we’ll need to keep an eye out for a Pattern three-peat and
whether the jackpot crosses the $200 million threshold.
Nothing like a nice cup of hot tea on a brisk autumn day to
warm up, right? Oh, you’re not the tea type? Perhaps you’re a coffee fiend,
or a cocoa connoisseur, or going straight for the bourbon? Whatever your drink preference,
you just want to sit by the fire with your buddies or, even better, get away
from it all with a trip to Florida or the Caribbean. But, to make that dream
come true, you need the money for that trip. Or, even better, enough to retire
to Florida or the Caribbean! And, why not win it all in one night?
Except, Lotto Texas and Powerball didn’t play nice Wednesday
night. In fact, they got a kick out of perplexing players far and wide. The
grand prizes went unclaimed in both lotteries. Powerball had the most fun, toying
with a similar spread and all, not to mention the debut of a Specific
Order. All that led to a prize rise to $70 million. Lotto Texas didn’t stand
idly by; its {3-2-1} Pattern three-peat made the climb to $8.5 million
possible.

Once all 429 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 1.40% of the time. The [4-1-1] General Order was last seen in the June 22, 2019 drawing.
One of Powerball’s
big strikes of the evening was the debut of the 0 4 0 0 1 1 Specific Order! With that said, this
Specific Order has now played in 16.67% of the six drawings where the General Order
was [4-1-1], 8.33% of the 12 drawings where {4-1-1} was
the winning Pattern, and in 0.23% of all 429 drawings.
Similar Spread
The other big strike
was the similar spread. Wednesday’s spread was 03:01:01:38. On February 20th, 2016, the
numbers 11, 12, 15, 16, 54, and PB 25 were drawn. Their spread was 01:03:01:38. Remember, in a similar spread the
differences between the numbers drawn are the same, but their orders are
different.

Lotto Texas seems to have fallen in love with the {3-2-1}
Pattern, and we’ll have to see if a four-peat is in the cards Saturday night. On
the Powerball front, could the {4-1-1} Pattern be bold enough to go for the
encore?
Lotto Texas had a playback. Powerball had a playback—on the same night as Lotto Texas, even. But Mega Millions? Two out of three elements sharing a date was good enough, it thought. Considering that no one could claim the grand prize and $178 million is now up for grabs, it was very good indeed. From Mega Millions’ perspective, anyway.

Seeing that the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern dropped by, we have a better chance
of seeing a Pattern encore than a playback! Still, will Mega Millions’ playback
avoidance continue into Friday night, or will it surprise us?
November 9th, 2019 was not a “Stay home
and chill” kind of night! Not only did Lotto Texas see a playback, its most
commonly seen Pattern reached a milestone. Throw in a repeating Five-Number
Combination, one wouldn’t be wrong to think Lotto Texas reigned supreme. All
that madness combined to raise the jackpot to $8.25 million.
Powerball didn’t sit around, either! It too had the playback
itch to scratch and saw its grand prize ascend to $60 million.

Friday nights were meant for football. They were also meant for parties, relaxing with a good drink, and big plays for Mega Millions. Except, there weren’t any big plays November 8, 2019. By that, we mean no Pattern encore, no Australia Play, not even a playback. Sure, Mega Millions came close, but a playback wasn’t mean to be. If by “major play”, you thought we meant, “No one won and the prize got larger”, then you were right on the money (no pun intended)! The jackpot increased to $163 million.

Whether a playback is in Mega Millions’ immediate future is something
that can’t be foretold. What we should direct our attention to is the jackpot.
It’s not far from crazy-large territory. We’ll have to see if it crosses that
$200 million threshold, and if it does, how much farther it will go…
After a weekend of sleeping off a candy binge and welcoming
the extra hour of sleep (not so much early sunsets), Lotto Texas and Powerball decided
to relax another night. Even though the lotteries took it easy, Wednesday night
wasn’t completely quiet. There was a playback, for one! That, and the
jackpots rose to $8 million and $50 million, respectively.

Three-Number
Combination(s)
Powerball didn’t have the stamina for a repeating

The {3-2-1} Pattern in Lotto Texas is fond of making encore
appearances. What with it coming up on 900 appearances, we’ll have to see if it
reaches that milestone Saturday night. Of course, what we all really want to know if another playback will show!
This past weekend saw many residents of the US and Canada
set their clocks back one hour. That meant more time to sleep and a quiet
weekend on the lottery front. For Lotto Texas and Powerball anyway; there were
no repeating Four or Three-Number Combinations to speak of.
The idea of a restful weekend was foreign to Mega Millions. It was revved up Friday night and it was again for the November 5, 2019 drawing. Maybe it was the thrill of having a high jackpot? No special plays were needed to send the prize even higher to $145 million.

After gorging yourself on Halloween candy and jumping onto a
holiday sale, what better way to sleep it off than with setting the clock back
one hour? If you’re reading this blog from either the U.S. or Canada, you most
likely set your clock back one hour this weekend, making the already early
sunsets come even earlier.
Lotto Texas and Powerball also “fell back” November 2, 2019. Neither lottery had any big plays in their arsenals. Perhaps this was the opening one Powerball player needed as he (or she) became the sole winner of $150 million! Naturally, the jackpot reset to $40 million. Lotto Texas chugged along, building itself up to $7.75 million.
