Although Friday night leads into the weekend, Saturday night is the main event. Whether out and about or staying home, many people make it their mission to get as much enjoyment as possible. After all, Sunday is for sleeping in and preparing for the week ahead, right? Free from the responsibilities of work and school, both Lotto Texas and Powerball use Saturday nights to be as relaxed or as wild as they please.
March 26, 2022 meant Lotto Texas and Powerball being in sync. Sort of. Both lotteries saw callbacks to earlier in the week, and with that came rising jackpots. The jackpot in Lotto Texas grew to $7.25 million, and Powerball’s jumped to $195 million.
