The jackpot reset in Mega Millions Friday night was a reminder that months of accumulating a massive jackpot can be wiped away in a single night. Given what’s happening with Powerball and (especially) Lotto Texas, one wouldn’t have been out of their gourd to think that at least one of these lotteries would have had a date with a jackpot reset Saturday night as well.
Lotto Texas and Powerball were able to dodge the players once again Saturday night. As Mega Millions was left to sit in the corner and tend to its wounds, these two lotteries were busy boosting their jackpots. Lotto Texas grew to an impressive $69.75 million, and Powerball grew to $235 million.
