The Ides of March came and went, and Lotto Texas and Powerball breathed a sigh of relief. They weren’t the ones who had to deal with it (this year), for one. Yet, being Wednesday night lotteries and all, they couldn’t get up to any wild shenanigans for St. Patrick’s Day. Instead, March 16, 2022 was a night for both a rare Pattern and a common Pattern to bask in the spotlight together!
(Carpe noctem?)
In the end, the jackpot climbed to $6.25 million for Lotto Texas and $147 million for Powerball.
