The Power of Dogged Persistence

Either there’s a new bug going around the lottery world, or the lotteries share the same New Year’s resolution. What we’re referring to is the persistence of rising jackpots. Since the last few months of 2022, Mega Millions, Lotto Texas, and Powerball’s prizes kept rising. Mega Millions crossed the $1 billion threshold Friday, and although Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots weren’t nearly as large, the hype was there all the same.

Neither the Lotto Texas nor Powerball jackpots could be brought down Saturday night. Nothing truly out of the ordinary was needed to boost their respective jackpots to $29.25 million and $340 million.

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s New Year’s Eve Special

Happy New Year, everyone! May 2023 be a good year for all of us.

New Year’s Eve is the biggest party day of the year, and why not? You’ve made it to the end of another year, the days are getting longer, and even the most cynical of us have hopes of a better future. In a world that seems to be spiraling quickly into madness, money still holds power.

The more money you have, the more you can ensure that you and yours have a more comfortable future. Lotto Texas and Powerball can help. Of course, the keyword here is can. These lotteries often have their own plans, and they don’t involve having their jackpots being claimed.

Lotto Texas and Powerball hosted their own party New Year’s Eve 2022. As they dazzled the crowds with playbacks and repeating Combinations, they made out with larger jackpots. Lotto Texas held strong with $27.25 million, and Powerball ascended to $265 million.

Two Lotteries Come Sailing in on Christmas Eve

And so, we’ve finally arrived. Merry Christmas, everyone! Stay warm and be kind to one another. For anyone reading from the Southern Hemisphere, stay cool, stay hydrated, and be kind to one another.

Remember back when you were a kid and your parents told you to eat your vegetables before dessert? Strangely, Christmas Eve is somewhat like that. Christmas is the holiday of holidays, religious connotations aside. To ease our minds off the desire to open presents early, Christmas specials and movies seem to do the trick. Even better if those are marathons! This year, those who were looking for other Christmas entertainment took part in either Lotto Texas or Powerball, hoping for extremely good fortunes before Christmas. The problem is that these lotteries didn’t want to share.

Christmas Eve 2022 would be a night of two lotteries doing all they could to prevent their prizes from being won. No grand plays were needed to send the Lotto Texas jackpot to $24.5 million and Powerball’s to $201 million.

There appears to a conspiracy afoot in the lottery world. Instead of giving the gift of millions over Christmas, are they waiting until New Year’s?

Naughty or Nice? Lotto Texas and Powerball’s (pre) Christmas Hijinks

The temperatures are plummeting, and the wind is howling. Truly, winter is here! For us Northern Hemisphere folks, anyway. As people whip on their heavy coats and brave the elements to do last-minute shopping, many will certainly stop for hot cocoa or a bowl of soup piping hot. Others, too, will make a stop at their nearest lottery dispensary, buying tickets and hoping for a hefty Christmas gift. The catch is whether the lottery, or lotteries, on Wednesday night, will be naughty or nice.

With four days until Christmas, Lotto Texas and Powerball took it upon themselves to get into more mischief. The rising jackpot streak continued thanks to a playback and an encore. The ever-graceful Lotto Texas boosted the jackpot to $24 million, and Powerball’s jackpot grew to $186 million.

One word that best described Saturday night was “Encore!” Both Lotto Texas and Powerball thought it best to stick with what they knew instead of going for unorthodox plays.

There’s only one week until Christmas, and Lotto Texas and Powerball are fired up! We’ll have to see if they’ll be up to Christmas mischief, or if at least one of them provides a very generous gift.

Silent Night. Lottery Night.

Christmas is a time of wonder and merriment, and it’s also a time of reflection. A time to step back and soak it all in, you know? Those moments when not much happens can make you appreciate those wild moments more. This is generally true of not only people, but lotteries as well, apparently.

From monstrously sized jackpots to making it rain repeating Combinations, Lotto Texas and Powerball were busy these past few months! What with Christmas not being too far away, these lotteries toned it down significantly Wednesday night. As such, both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their respective jackpots rise to $21.5 million and $149 million.
