The summer season is almost over, and you can already see and feel the changes! Days continue to get shorter, pumpkin spice latte is back on the menu, and football dominates the weekend schedule. As the seasons have begun to transition, a couple of things have remained the same: Lotto Texas and Powerball.
These lotteries formed an alliance sometime in June. Since then, players have tried and failed to win the grand prize. The Lotto Texas-Powerball alliance held strong September 18, 2021, as players failed yet again. Their respective jackpots were pushed to $17.5 million and $472 million.
