Lotto Texas and Powerball are joined at the hip. As one lottery holds a drawing, so must the other. Their (often) different approaches to these drawings determine whether their jackpots rise or fall together or separately. As we get closer to Halloween, the jackpots continue to rise together, and one lottery is determined to have a monster of a jackpot!
On October 26, 2022, Powerball wielded the awesome power of a Pattern streak to dazzle (and confuse) the players and send the jackpot to a staggering $800 million. Lotto Texas was no slouch, either. A more measured approach boosted the jackpot to $9.5 million.
