August is an outlier. In the United States, it’s the only month without a holiday. Perhaps that’s a good a time as any to push students back to school, isn’t it? Yet, the days are still hot and sticky, and most would rather hang poolside than be stuck in a classroom. As students and families steadily get back into their school routines, lotteries steadily boost their jackpots.
Neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball expended much energy Wednesday night. Lotto Texas hit the $10 million mark with a little help from a Pattern three-peat. Meanwhile, Powerball quietly and steadily nudged the jackpot to $48 million.
