A new year has arrived and with it came lottery drawings. How amazing it would be to start the year off by winning millions of dollars! Why, from time-to-time, the jackpot can become worth hundreds of millions of dollars, if not at least a billion!
Although the Powerball jackpot isn’t a billion dollars (yet?), nothing stopped its growth January 2, 2021. The prize grew to $410 million. Meanwhile, ever-graceful Lotto Texas ascended to $7.5 million.
