February 22nd was a big day. Until certain events unfolded, “Twosday” would’ve probably been the biggest day of the week. Nonetheless, lotteries are largely immune to the whims of man, and Lotto Texas and Powerball continued onward.
Speaking of the lottery world, February 23, 2022 was probably a bigger day than “Twosday”. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw Pattern repeats and then some, which boosted their respective jackpots to $6 million and $58 million.
