Summer is in full swing. The temperatures are rising still (as if it couldn’t get any hotter), and ironically, Back-to-School ads are beginning to pop up like mushrooms. To escape the stress and ennui of modern living, many turn to lotteries. Sure, more money can mean more problems, but the allure of becoming a multimillionaire overnight is too enticing to ignore! Even more difficult to ignore is when there is at least one jackpot on the verge of entering the billion-dollar range. To say that things are heating up in the lottery world as well is an understatement!
July 12, 2023 meant another night of Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots avoiding capture, so to speak. Lotto Texas, ever graceful, boosted the jackpot to $7.75 million. Powerball, by process of elimination, was the one harboring that beastly jackpot. There, the prize grew to $875 million.
