The halfway mark is a good checkpoint. You’ve made it 50 percent of the way and it’s time to make assessments. Do you keep your current pace, or do you change gears? For Lotto Texas and Powerball, it’s a no-brainer. After a busy start to October, in part due to the former’s fall from the top, mid-October (or close to it) is the perfect time to slow down!
Yes, there was a Pattern encore October 14, 2020 and a playback surfaced. And yes, the jackpots for Lotto Texas and Powerball leveled up to $6 million and $82 million, respectively. However, there was a certain something missing from that night’s lottery drawings.
