In the Texas Lottery, the term 'roll' refers to the practice of increasing the jackpot amount for draw games (such as Lotto Texas, Powerball, or Mega Millions) when no ticket matches all the winning numbers in a draw. The jackpot then 'rolls over' to the next drawing, with the prize pool increasing based on ticket sales and interest. This process continues until someone wins by matching all the numbers, making 'rolling' a key factor in creating large jackpots that attract more players.
