The Path to a Rising Jackpot

One never knows what will turn up in a lottery drawing. Perhaps an Australia Play will be featured, or the lottery of choice has a Pattern streak going. One way or another, either someone walks away a millionaire, or the players get another chance. Talk about a cloud having a silver lining!

After Saturday night’s Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings, players for both lotteries were thwarted by a combination of factors. A Pattern encore made the prize in Lotto Texas grow to $45.25 million. For Powerball, the setup for a playback looked promising but didn’t come to pass. The “near” playback boosted the jackpot to $87 million.
