Regardless of the back-to-school ads that pop up like mushrooms, August is firmly planted in summer. With August comes some of the hottest temperatures of the year. When it gets too hot, we want to do as little as possible outside. When it’s too hot outside and the hype of massive jackpots dies down, lotteries act similarly.
August 6, 2022 was another sticky summer night, and both Lotto Texas and Powerball had enough strength to give it a go with their most common Patterns. These gave their respective jackpots a boost to $9.5 million and $26 million.
