Yes, folks, that’s jackpot streaks! In an odd twist of events, Mega Millions was forced to reset it jackpot once again this week. That left an opening for both Lotto Texas and Powerball to increase their jackpots even more Wednesday night. Lotto Texas managed to keep it classy with a jackpot that grew to $35.5 million. Meanwhile, Powerball went on a power trip on the way to $572 million.
