CRIKEY! An Australian Play and a Jackpot That Just Won’t Quit

Greetings Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here. Last night on October 24, 2022, with Halloween just a week away, Lotto Texas experienced an Australia Play and Powerball, of course, had a still-going-strong jackpot that increased up to $700 million! It may not be $1 billion, but it’s still a Monster Mash of a jackpot! Speaking of which, back on October 27, 2018, the won Powerball Jackpot was a quarter of a billion dollars! But an even bigger jackpot was won four days beforehand, and the biggest—and I mean biggest—jackpot in Megamillions history: $1.6 billion! Now that’s what I call Halloween jackpot history. And now, the details.
