Something extraordinary happened in the lottery world several months ago. Mega Millions, Powerball, and even Lotto Texas got in on growing massive jackpots. Recently, the Mega Millions jackpot was cut down to size and forced into an odd cycle of rising and resetting. Meanwhile, neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball faced any obstacles Saturday night, and boosted their respective jackpots to $36 million and $613 million.
