Powerball jackpot climbs to $950M—did you win?

No one snagged the massive $861 million Powerball jackpot on Wednesday, so the prize is now soaring to an estimated $950 million for Saturday’s draw! While the big one rolled over, Texas players still had plenty to celebrate—over 152,000 winning tickets were sold in the state, with one lucky ticket multiplying a $50,000 win to $200,000 thanks to Power Play. Even if you didn’t hit the jackpot, it’s worth checking your numbers. Would you take the lump sum or the annuity if you won? And how would a win change your life? #News #Powerball #TexasLottery

Texas lottery winners strike it big at local stores

Two Texans just turned scratch-offs and Powerball tickets into life-changing wins—one pocketing $2 million in Sugar Land and another scoring $1 million in Fort Worth. Both winning tickets were bought at everyday spots: a Fuel Time in Sugar Land and a 7-Eleven in Fort Worth. With tonight’s Powerball jackpot at $643 million and Mega Millions at $234 million, it’s wild to think the next big winner could be someone grabbing a coffee or gas. Anyone else tempted to try their luck? What would you do if you won? #News #TexasLottery #BigWinners

Texas gas station ticket wins $2M Powerball

Someone in East Texas just turned a routine gas station stop into a $2 million Powerball win—all by picking their own numbers instead of using Quick Pick. The winner bought the lucky ticket at Fuel Masters in Chappel Hill and now has 180 days to claim the prize. This isn’t the first big win at a Texas gas station lately, either. It’s got folks wondering: Is there something about these spots, or is it just luck? Would you pick your own numbers or trust the machine? And if you won, would you take the lump sum or the annuity? #News #Powerball #TexasLottery

Houston’s $45M lottery win and the courier controversy

A Houston woman’s $45.8 million lottery payout is finally on the way after months of legal wrangling—not because of her luck, but because of a heated debate over online lottery couriers. Kristen Moriarty’s jackpot was held up as state officials questioned whether services like Jackpocket should even be legal. This drama even sparked new laws banning couriers and limiting bulk ticket buys. With the Texas Lottery Commission about to be dissolved, it’s wild to see how one win can shake up state policy and trust in the system. What do you think—should online lottery couriers be allowed? #News #Houston #TexasLottery

Texas Powerball Payouts Kinda Flopped

Powerball dreams dashed again! No one snagged the $135M jackpot in Texas last night, and the biggest win in the state was just $200 (ouch). Only 10 tickets nationwide hit $50K. But hey, Mega Millions is up next, and payouts have jumped 300% since April. Maybe it’s Texas’ turn for a big win? If you’re playing, double-check those numbers! #Powerball #TexasLottery #MegaMillions #LotteryLife #Jackpot #Finance

Lottery Winner Says He Was Cheated!

Imagine winning $7.5 million in the lottery—then finding out you could’ve had $100 million if not for an alleged code-hacking scheme! One Texas man is suing, claiming a group used custom software and fake QR codes to buy every combo and rig the game, snatching the $95 million jackpot. Now the whole Texas Lottery is under investigation, and lawmakers are threatening to shut it down. Wild, right? #LotteryScandal #TexasLottery #TrueCrime #MoneyTalks #WatercoolerMoment #Finance
