A cascade is three increasingly longer skip periods between wins of a lottery number. For example, if lotto number 10 hit on drawing 15, then made 3 skips before hitting on drawing 19, then made 8 skips before hitting on drawing 28, then made 12 skips (the exhaustion break) before hitting on drawing 41, then lotto number 10 is showing a cascade pattern (skipped 3, then 8, then 12, each skip is longer than the previous skip).
