December Comes to Mega Millions

Can you believe it? We made it to December! With all the insanity going on in the “real world”, we can count on Mega Millions to be one of many trusty avenues of escape. One thing that makes Mega Millions fun to analyze is that it likes to shake things up. November was “The Month of {2-1-1-1-1}”. That Pattern was the first and last Pattern to play. Did {2-1-1-1-1} become the Pattern to start December?
