Well, if you were Lotto Texas, you staved off ambitious players with an Australia Play. Meanwhile, Powerball packed a punch with a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore and repeating Three-Number Combinations galore! These efforts weren’t in vain, for their respective jackpots grew to $6.25 million and $60 million.
