Special thanks to Romulun Harris for writing up the Mega Millions post!
March 20, 2021 was the first day of spring! Lotto Texas and Powerball, pardon the expression, sprung into action. They started the new season strong, as both lotteries saw rising jackpots. Lotto Texas climbed to $7.75 million, and Powerball jumped to $220 million. Additionally, at least one of the lotteries saw a playback.
