Rising Jackpots Spring Eternal

No one knows what’s in store for tomorrow, and tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. What is guaranteed, at least for the foreseeable future, is Lotto Texas and Powerball showing up in the middle of the week to tantalize players with the idea of winning millions. However, these lotteries have taken more to taunting as of late.

Lotto Texas had no intention of having the jackpot reset. By the grace of a Pattern encore, the jackpot grew to a hearty $17.25 million. Meanwhile, Powerball kept a level head and pushed the jackpot to $186 million.

How high will the jackpots climb Saturday night, and are more encores in store?

The August Saturday Night Chill

“Chill” seems like an odd choice of words. Last we checked the calendar, we’re still in the throes of summer. Although yes, that is true in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s the opposite below the Equator. A last-minute getaway to Australia or Tierra del Fuego doesn’t come easy, not unless you’ve got a hefty bank account, anyhow. That’s where Lotto Texas and Powerball (and Mega Millions, but that’s another story) come in. The catch, and there’s always a catch, is that these lotteries’ plans don’t always line up with those of the players.

As another round of summer heat took hold, one lottery took a trip Down Under, so to speak. That, combined with more laid-back approaches, boosted the jackpots to $12.25 million for Lotto Texas, and $90 million for Powerball.

Will Lotto Texas and Powerball continue to take it easy Monday night?

Steady and Steadier

August is an outlier. In the United States, it’s the only month without a holiday. Perhaps that’s a good a time as any to push students back to school, isn’t it? Yet, the days are still hot and sticky, and most would rather hang poolside than be stuck in a classroom. As students and families steadily get back into their school routines, lotteries steadily boost their jackpots.

Neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball expended much energy Wednesday night. Lotto Texas hit the $10 million mark with a little help from a Pattern three-peat. Meanwhile, Powerball quietly and steadily nudged the jackpot to $48 million.

Two Scoops of Mega Millions Brand {3-1-1-1} Pattern

You’re never too old for ice cream or popsicles! They can be enjoyed year-round, sure, but there’s something about enjoying them in summer that makes us giddy and feel like kids again.
