Lotto Texas and Powerball’s Mid-Week Rest Day

The past week-and-a-half have been eventful for Lotto Texas and Powerball. With another day added to their roster, they went all-out with repeating Combinations, Australia Plays, and we haven’t forgotten about Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak! Having made the point that yes,  they now also play on Mondays, these lotteries took a breather Wednesday night. Even though September 1, 2021 was a much quieter evening, that didn’t put a dent in either jackpot, or Powerball’s Pattern streak. Lotto Texas was pleased as punch to have a jackpot that grew to $14.5 million. Meanwhile, Powerball’s jackpot grew to an impressive $367 million.
