Lotto Texas held steady with a quaint, but desirable, $15.25 million.
Powerball, on the other hand, was explosive. For months, Powerball had been amassing great power, and it took a player in Iowa and another in New York to take it down October 27th. With the prize now claimed, Powerball got knocked back down to a more “normal” $40 million.

This Combination made its debut in the November 25, 2017 drawing.
Three-Number Combination(s)
Naturally, nestled in that repeating Four-Number Combination were four repeating Three-Number Combinations:
- 13, 27, PB 4
- 8, 27, PB 4
- 8, 13, PB 4
- 8, 13, 27
And naturally, these debuted November 25, 2017.

All the lotteries have been brought back down to Earth right before Halloween. The only freaky things to worry about, if they could ever be called that, are encores, Australia Plays, and playbacks. Could either of these make an appearance, or will Halloween be a quiet evening?
