December 15th means two things; there isn’t much time left for Christmas shopping and the year is almost over. This year, we can throw Lotto Texas and Powerball into the fray.
Powerball seized control of the night. With no grand prize winner, the jackpot rose to $262 million. There were a few other treats, but we’ll get to those in a moment. First, we’re going to discuss the unassuming Lotto Texas, which saw its jackpot rise to a respectable $8.25 million.
