Decembering Onward

“What are you, crazy!?” you’re wondering. December’s over! Well, yes, it’s over on the calendar, but it didn’t go by the wayside in Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing. The January 10, 2017 drawing had many callbacks to December, regardless of the year.

Tuesday’s winning numbers were 11, 20, 40, 41, 59, and MB 15.

Now with 132 appearances, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has played in 39.2% of the 337 Mega Millions drawings, and remains the most commonly seen Pattern. Prior to Tuesday, we last saw this Pattern in the December 23, 2016 drawing.

The [1-1-2-1-1] General Order made its 31st appearance, its first since the December 6, 2016 drawing. This General Order has now appeared in 23.5% of the 132 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 9.2% of all drawings.

Next in our lottery coverage is the 1 1 2 1 0 1 Specific Order. With ten appearances to date, this Specific Order has now appeared in 32.3% of the 31 drawings where the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order has appeared, 7.58% of the 132 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 2.97% of all drawings. Unlike the Pattern and General Order of the evening, the 1 1 2 1 0 1 Specific Order was previously seen in the November 4, 2016 drawing.

Our Mega Millions coverage ends tonight with a repeat appearance of the following Three-Number Combination: 11, 40, and MB 15.

This Three-Number Combination made its debut in the December 22nd, 2015 drawing.

Tuesday’s drawing, while somewhat low-key, had some interesting developments. Will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern make an encore on Friday, or will a rarely seen Pattern appear? Will there be another repeating Three-Number Combination?
