Lotto Texas and Powerball have been going at it for at least 30 years. Whether “just” a state lottery or a lottery that’s playable in all but a few U.S. states and territories, the allure of becoming a (nearly) overnight millionaire has captivated millions. The Saturday night drawings may be the most exciting, and possibly the most gut-wrenching. To think that future employment and retirement prospects can hinge on whether the correct six numbers are selected in the correct order! Even more gut-wrenching is when Lotto Texas and Powerball attempt to be dignified, all while a monster lurks beneath the surface. “Attempt” is the keyword here, as the current momentum is difficult to tamper with!
The night of July 8, 2023 meant a playback and visits from both Lotto Texas’s and Powerball’s most common Patterns. Furthermore, those jackpots saw another boost. The ever-dignified Lotto Texas grew to $7.25 million. Meanwhile, Powerball maintained some composure as the prize soared to $650 million.
