Time flies, doesn’t it? September 22, 2021 was the start of fall. Speaking of fall, a massive jackpot has fallen: Mega Millions! Tuesday night, the last night of the summer, was when the beastly jackpot was brought down. Meanwhile, the jackpots in Lotto Texas and Powerball only went one way. Up.
Lotto Texas was besides itself with a jackpot that rose to $18.75 million. However, it must be said that Powerball’s crossing over the half-billion-dollar mark was a showstopper. The prize there climbed to a dizzying $523 million!
