Let’s be honest: Summer’s over. Yeah, the calendar says summer ends in September, but really. Most students are already back in school or well on their way. Adults? Unless they’re making money in their sleep hands over fist, summer is a distant memory. There is, however, a sanctuary known as “the weekend”. The weekend is a time to destress, a time to cut loose, and for the adults, a time to go for the big money prizes. Yet, those prizes have a way of giving players the slip. Sometimes, it’s thanks to a Pattern that played the last time.
August 27, 2022 was a night for encore lovers. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw not only encores but rising jackpots as well. The Lotto Texas jackpot climbed to $14 million, and the Powerball jackpot climbed to $124 million.
