Lotto Texas and Powerball were complete opposites in more ways than one! For starters, Wednesday night featured a common Pattern in Powerball and a not-so-common one in Lotto Texas. The results were also the opposite. As Powerball soared to $420 million, Lotto Texas was forced to reset to $5 million.
The Lotto Texas reset is where we begin.
