In the lottery world, things come and go, but they’re never really forgotten. Whether it was nine years ago or just last week, Patterns and even repeating Combinations have a way of coming back.
October 5th may have only been a week ago, but Lotto Texas and Powerball already felt the nostalgia pangs. Wednesday night was like the previous Wednesday’s in more ways than one. That rush of nostalgia did nothing to slow the jackpots from growing to $7.75 million and $454 million!
