This year has been crazy (in more ways than one) and things got crazier in the lottery world. It was on October 28, 2020, that Lotto Texas saw the return of the Australia Play! This special playback sent the prize leaping to $7 million.
Powerball came close to a playback but no go. The prize there also saw an increase; it jumped to $127 million.
