Something odd happened the night of April 8, 2020. Thanks to an encore from the {3-2-1} Pattern and a little extra help from the similar spread, the Lotto Texas jackpot rose to $11 million. That’s more than half that of Powerball’s! No, that wasn’t a typo.
An intrepid player from New Jersey picked all six numbers and won the $193 million prize. Naturally, the jackpot reset itself. The floor of Powerball jackpots was once $40 million, but after this past Wednesday night, the new reset point became $20 million.
