So many factors contribute to the energy a lottery possesses. The size of the jackpot, for one. “Sister lottery” Mega Millions can attest to that! Other factors include the time of year and “real-world” events. Here in Lottery Trend Country, summer is right around the corner, and there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to COVID-19.
Lotto Texas and Powerball may not be worth half a billion dollars (or close to it) in prizes, but their jackpots are anything but paltry! A different approach was taken by these lotteries May 12, 2021. The buzz was still there, but a bit more subdued. That didn’t prevent the jackpots from growing to $15.5 million and $183 million, respectively.
