No, it’s not time to spring forward; that’s next weekend.

What took place this weekend was a little thing called “Leap Day”. An extra day in February meant more time for Lotto Texas and Powerball to simultaneously offer riches and frustrate players. If the results of February 29^th, 2020 are anything to go by, the lotteries did just that! Wild plays weren’t needed to send the prize in Lotto Texas to $8.25 million and Powerball shot up to $90 million.
