In the lead-up to Thanksgiving, both Lotto Texas and Powerball went crazy for repeating Combinations. The day before Thanksgiving had a record 17 repeating Combinations! Saturday night was much different. The lotteries figured that too many Combinations in such a short amount of time wasn’t going to be good for them in the long run. Instead, they spent the night too tired (and stuffed) to do much of anything. However, there was just enough energy to keep the players from claiming the jackpots. Lotto Texas held strong at $17.25 million, and the Powerball prize pushed onward to $56 million.

What with people heading home and bracing for another work/school week, perhaps it’s fitting that neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball went crazy with the repeating Combinations. We are, of course, now in the Christmas season. Inquiring minds want to know what shenanigans these lotteries will be up to in the coming weeks. Are more nights with a glut of repeating Combinations on tap, or will they have something else up their sleeves?
