On Friday, the lottery estimated that total ticket sales for this jackpot, which has been building up since Jan. 28, will be about $1.46 billion, said Kelly Cripe, a spokeswoman for the Texas Lottery Commission.
$1.46 B is the total amount spent since January, not the amount spent for tonight's draw. Article is misleading.
