Ever notice that it’s easier to tear something down than to build it up? For example, it takes several months for lottery jackpots to grow to headline-catching heights, only for them to be taken down in a single night. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball were recently forced to reset, and it’ll take time before they reach those highs again. Fortunately for them, the results of Wednesday night’s drawings were a step in the right direction!
Lotto Texas stuck with the Pattern from earlier in the week and saw the prize grow to a respectable $5.5 million. Meanwhile, Powerball opted for another path. The result was a jackpot that grew to $51 million.
