Something is spreading throughout the lottery world. Mega Millions has been in its grip for months, and Lotto Texas and Powerball haven’t shown any signs of resistance themselves as of late. This is the power of rising jackpots. With the school year wrapping up, the lotteries barrel through May full steam ahead, ready to kick off those hotter, sunnier days.
This past Saturday was something of an anomaly. Repeating Five-Number Combinations and similar spreads often don’t occur on the same night. Although such phenomena were absent May 19, 2021, Lotto Texas and Powerball didn’t disappoint! Even with its newfound assertiveness, Lotto Texas retained its classiness, ascending gracefully to $17 million. Powerball did its own thing and jumped to an impressive $218 million.
