Television isn’t the only one who has to contend with February sweeps! As we enter the last week of the month, don’t expect either Lotto Texas or Powerball to go down quietly. March comes in roaring like a lion, as they say.

Back to February matters, both lotteries saw Pattern encores this past Saturday night, and then some. The aftermath was rising jackpots. Lotto Texas rose to $7.75 million and $70 million for Powerball.
