August Australia (Play) Affinity

Something’s been up with Lotto Texas and Powerball lately. Well, more than usual. There aren’t any monstrous sized jackpots on the horizon, so what’s going on with these two? Australia Plays, that’s what!

As August started winding down, the Australia Play started popping up more. Last weekend, Lotto Texas had a go with one, and Powerball saw one earlier this week. What with it still being August and all, August 24, 2022 was another good night for at least one Australia Play. As the jackpot grew to $13.75 million in Lotto Texas and $115 million in Powerball, was it Powerball that saw an Australia Play encore, or Lotto Texas that couldn’t survive long enough without featuring another one?
