Spring is considered a time of hope and new beginnings. For lottery players, the beginning of a new month is another chance to win the big bucks, and hopefully retire early. Of course, winning the prize won’t be easy.

On April 3, 2021, Lotto Texas and Powerball made sure their prizes went unclaimed. Lotto Texas saw the return of the {3-2-1} Pattern and a jackpot that rose to $8.75 million. Powerball came close to a playback but more importantly, its jackpot rose to $43 million.
