There are freedoms that come with being a lottery. No work or school, for starters. No worries about bills, debts, or any of those “people problems”. No, instead, lotteries have the potential to help people find ways out of bills, debts, and the insanity of the working world. Except, lotteries only do so unwillingly. They love it more when people don’t win the jackpot, or at least not quickly! Why else are Lotto Texas and Powerball coming into tonight’s analysis so full of themselves?
September 13, 2023 was the night for embracing the madness of repeating Combinations. If that weren’t enough, both Lotto Texas and Powerball watched their jackpots grow to $6.5 million and $596 million, respectively.
