“Chill” seems like an odd choice of words. Last we checked the calendar, we’re still in the throes of summer. Although yes, that is true in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s the opposite below the Equator. A last-minute getaway to Australia or Tierra del Fuego doesn’t come easy, not unless you’ve got a hefty bank account, anyhow. That’s where Lotto Texas and Powerball (and Mega Millions, but that’s another story) come in. The catch, and there’s always a catch, is that these lotteries’ plans don’t always line up with those of the players.
As another round of summer heat took hold, one lottery took a trip Down Under, so to speak. That, combined with more laid-back approaches, boosted the jackpots to $12.25 million for Lotto Texas, and $90 million for Powerball.
