Spring, at least according to the calendar, is right around the corner. Spring is the season of new beginnings. How fitting then, that Lotto Texas and Powerball are the ones to welcome March and invite people far and wide to try their hand at starting a new life. Once you become a multimillionaire, there’s no going back! Not really. Yet, often, neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball are willing to play along. Wednesday night was one of those nights.
In fact, both lotteries balked at the idea of resetting their jackpots. Lotto Texas has shown remarkable endurance over the past several months and boosted the jackpot to $50.25 million. Powerball, no stranger to large prizes, grew the jackpot to $161 million.
