How the (Lottery) Tables Have Turned

Something funny happened during the Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings Saturday night. Both an Australia Play and a Pattern encore were spotted, but that wasn’t the “funny” part. For the first time in a long time, the Lotto Texas jackpot became larger than the one in Powerball! A winning ticket in Virginia forced the Powerball jackpot to reset to $20 million. Meanwhile, the Lotto Texas jackpot grew to $51 million.
