Although it sounds like the title of a Z-grade throwback buddy cop film, we can assure you it’s not! July 18, 2020 was a historic day to be sure. Powerball had its 500th drawing and to celebrate, Lotto Texas saw a playback. Strange, that. Along with reaching an important milestone, Powerball saw its jackpot rise to $106 million. Lotto Texas continued to enjoy the thrill of a large jackpot, large for it, anyway. With no one selecting all six winning numbers, the Lotto Texas prize climbed to $27.25 million.
