Lotto Texas and Powerball live in different worlds, and Saturday night highlighted just how different they are. The former played an uncommon Pattern while the latter stuck with one of its most common. However, there are nights when these two appear to operate on similar wavelengths.
October 17, 2020 was one of those nights. Both lotteries saw their jackpots increase. Lotto Texas stepped up to $6.25 million and Powerball ascended to $91 million.
