The Stuffening

Thanksgiving in the US has the misfortune of being overshadowed by both Halloween and Christmas. Right after the scares and candy come the Christmas decorations, the songs, the sales, we could go on. Given how pervasive Christmas is, no one would blame you if you didn’t know, or forgot*, that American Thanksgiving is in November. Perhaps Lotto Texas and Powerball can help with that.

*To our US readers: Be honest. How many of you have forgotten at least once about Thanksgiving?

Ever since this past weekend, both lotteries have engorged themselves on repeating Combinations. On Saturday, Powerball saw two repeating Four-Number Combinations, a rarity for this lottery, and Lotto Texas was the talk of the town Monday night with a repeating Five-Number Combination. The night of November 23, 2022 was a feast of Combinations!

Another repeating Five-Number Combination was spotted in Lotto Texas, and Powerball helped itself once again to two repeating Four-Number Combinations! Amidst the madness, the Lotto Texas jackpot grew to $16.75 million, and Powerball’s jackpot grew to $48 million.
