August 3^rd, 2019 was an historic night in the lottery world. Powerball had its 400^th drawing* and with it came a jackpot rise to $112 million! Lotto Texas, meanwhile, has been following in Powerball’s footsteps. Although nowhere near the madness its buddy has participated in, a showing form an uncommon Pattern forced the jackpot to rise to $15 million. That’s still a good amount of prize money.

*With “regular” numbers 1-69 and Powerballs 1-26.
