A grand shift is underway. July is almost over, and there are only a few more weeks until the start of the school year. Pandemic or no, that time of year is filled with both excitement and dread. Such a shift doesn’t exist for Lotto Texas or Powerball. Instead, they spent the night of July 25, 2020 fortifying their jackpot fortresses.
Both lotteries saw rising jackpots, one of which was thanks to the power of a playback. Lotto Texas grew to $28.5 million, the highest this blog has covered. Powerball extended its membership in the nine-figure club with a prize worth $126 million.
