Why scramble like a couple of nuts the day before Halloween when you can take inventory right now? That was the line of thinking Lotto Texas and Powerball followed this past Saturday night. Even if they can’t pass out candy, there needs to be something to get the humans to play, yes?
October 26th, 2019 was a night of common Patterns and rising jackpots for both lotteries. With neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball seeing a grand prize winner, their respective prizes rose to $7.25 million and $140 million.

Three-Number Combination(s)
While Powerball took inventory, it didn’t stock up on repeating Three-Number Combinations.
Lotto Texas and Powerball have the honor of playing the day before Halloween (All Hallow’s Eve Eve?). Commonly seen Patterns are ripe for repeat appearances, and we’ll need to watch and see if either the {3-2-1} Pattern three-peat or {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern come through. But considering that it’s coming up on the night of tricks, what if the lotteries have something else in store?
