Spring is fast approaching. If a peek at the calendar hasn’t convinced you (Did you remember to spring forward?), then surely the displays of four-leaf clovers and Easter baskets have!
To commemorate the arrival of spring, Lotto Texas and Powerball embraced their most common Patterns. One Pattern saw the makings of a Pattern streak. With no grand prize winners for either Lotto Texas or Powerball, their respective jackpots climbed to $8.75 million and $110 million.
