Lotto Texas and Powerball got off to an energetic start Saturday night! The theme for May 1, 2021 appeared to be “Playback”. One lottery saw this wild play, and another came mighty close.
Saturday night was also one for all you out there who just love rising jackpots! Lotto Texas, for one, found its voice again. After that bout with a $47 million jackpot last year, there was no harm in trying to go after that prize again. The boost to $13.5 million certainly helped! Powerball, ever confident, saw its jackpot grow to $142 million.
