After a week of repeating Four-Number Combinations and similar spreads, Lotto Texas and Powerball scaled it back some Saturday night. However, there was one question these lotteries asked themselves: “Should I play another similar spread?” One lottery opted to go for it, while the other was content to play repeating Combinations. Regardless, Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their respective jackpots climb to $11.75 million and $74 million.
