A new month means new opportunities to win big prizes. Or, if the results of the October 5, 2019 Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings are anything to go by, watch those opportunities slip away. Having a setback on your early retirement plans is a sore spot to be sure but there is a silver lining to all this. The next time around, the pot will be larger!
Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots rose to $5.75 million and $80 million, respectively, all thanks to several callbacks to the recently departed September.
