The jackpot fever did not break for either Lotto Texas or Powerball July 18^th. Not only did they see their respective jackpots rise to $11.5 million and $130 million, they got an extra boost. The title of today’s post is because one of these lotteries saw the “extra boost” in the form of a Pattern encore.
