Playback fever has taken hold in the lottery world. A playback was featured in both Monday and Wednesday night’s drawings, with the latter having the bonus of being an encore to boot. Saturday night ramped things up.
October 23, 2021 featured not only another playback but a playback that was so close to forming. Both this playback, and near playback, had a hand in boosting the Lotto Texas and Powerball jackpots to $7.25 million and $93 million, respectively.
