For some people, being made to stay home has been an opportunity to catch up on books they’ve been meaning to read, shows and movies they’ve been meaning to watch, and not worry too much about appearance. But, even the most “homebodiest” of homebodies doesn’t want to stay at home for too long. The longer you’re homebound, the more pent-up energy and without a proper outlet, the results can be explosive.

Thankfully, Lotto Texas and Powerball found a release valve! The night of April 18, 2020 was a night of repeating Combinations doubles and a surge in the jackpots. Well, more like a steady growth. The prize rose to $12.25 million in Lotto Texas and $29 million in Powerball.
