Can’t Ignore This

Some things are too big to ignore. Try as we might, there are things that remind us, sometimes bitterly so, of how unbelievably short time away from work feels, or how the biosphere is seriously out of whack (people wouldn’t double down on denial otherwise). In a time when people are cash-strapped and looking to free themselves from wage slavery, it would serve them well to pay attention to the goings-on in the lottery world.

Going into the July 15, 2023 Powerball drawing, Powerball, along with Mega Millions, had a jackpot getting close to $1 billion. After the drawing, that still held true. The Powerball jackpot rose to a heart-pounding $900 million!

Lest we forget about Lotto Texas, this lottery quietly boosted its jackpot to $8 million.

The Mid-Week Summer Spread-out

Don’t you just hate it when a holiday falls during the middle of the week? You’re off that Tuesday, Wednesday, or even Thursday, but then you return to the office the next day. Some have the option of using PTO days, while others are out of luck. PTO or no, Lotto Texas and/or Powerball come to the rescue, right? Except on nights like this past Wednesday’s, when these lotteries have other plans.

July 5, 2023 was a vacation of sorts for Lotto Texas and Powerball. Both lotteries toned it down a bit on the repeating Combinations, but one decided to spread out a bit more. Despite the lotteries’ divergent tracks, their respective jackpots grew to $7 million and $590 million.

The Good(ish) Kind of Streak

There are just some streaks we can do without. An obvious one is a losing streak. But what if that losing streak fuels a good thing? No one wants to lose a lottery drawing. At least, we hope not. However, more money means a bigger nest egg, more freedom, and of course, many of us want that freedom! Alas, that desire will have to burn a bit longer.

Neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball were willing to let players win that easily! Both lotteries saw their jackpots grow to $6.25 million and $493 million, respectively.
