Sometimes, you may not have heard something right or just want to make sure you have the right information. The proper thing to do is ask the speaker to repeat what was just said. The speaker may or may not be annoyed by the request. Luckily, lotteries don’t have it in them to be annoyed. Sometimes, they’ll repeat and, like Lotto Texas and Powerball this past Saturday night, they’ll repeat without being prompted.
September 16, 2023 was a night for both a Pattern encore and a playback! Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw generous gains in their jackpots, growing to $6.75 million and $638 million, respectively.
