Lotto Texas and Powerball are an odd couple indeed! The former often takes a quieter approach while the latter tends to be more adventurous. Even though they’re opposites, they have one common goal: making it difficult for the players to nab jackpots.
Their different approaches were on full display June 15, 2022. Lotto Texas, ever graceful, employed a Pattern three-peat to boost its jackpot to $6.5 million. Meanwhile, Powerball’s craving for repeating Three-Number Combinations sent the jackpot to $279 million.
