Over $1.5 Billion Up For Grabs In Texas Lottery Jackpots

After no winners claimed the last two lottery drawings, the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots grow to over $1.5 billion.

In the coming week, we will all get another chance to become a multi-millionaire, as the Texas Lottery jackpots swell to over a billion dollars after no winners claimed the last jackpots.

Tuesday night’s Mega Millions jackpot stands at 850 million dollars, while the Powerball jackpot rolls out an estimated $730 million on Wednesday night, for a combined amount of over 1.5 billion dollars.

The last El Pasoan that became a multi-millionaire was Martha L. Cuellar, who won $94 million in the Mega Millions jackpot back in 2006. And most recently, another El Pasoan, Sergio Gonzalez Salcido, won $1 million thanks to one lucky scratch-off ticket.
