The block feature on phones is a godsend. Don’t recognize that spammy number? Block it. Tired of your ex calling you when you’ve clearly said, “It’s over”? Block ‘em! Although the ability to block is great for phones, that isn’t necessarily the case with lotteries.
August 13, 2022 was a night for blocking. Playbacks? Blocked. Pattern streak? Ooh, that was blocked for sure! Not only were a playback and a Pattern streak blocked, so were the players. Naturally, the Lotto Texas and Powerball jackpots climbed to $10.5 million and $56 million, respectively.
