The theme for August 4, 2021 was “Repeat”. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw at least one repeating Four-Number Combination and one repeating Three-Number Combination, respectively. More importantly, they fell into a groove with their most common Patterns. Sticking with the tried and true brought a playback, a three-peat, and rising jackpots! Lotto Texas rose to $9.25 million, and Powerball crossed comfortably into the realm of $226 million.
