Lotteries tend to end a month in two ways. They can either end it with expansive fireworks, or they can sneak out through the back door, so to speak. One technique involves encores, similar spread(s), Combinations, or a combination of these. The other is a more relaxed approach and may very well be the calm before the storm.
Lotto Texas and Powerball felt fanfare was unnecessary Wednesday night. A Pattern encore here and a repeating Three-Number Combination there pushed the respective jackpots to $6.5 million and $262 million just as easily.
