This weekend is going to be a big one! Spring Break is (technically) here for students in the Houston area. As to why Spring Break is in the middle of March instead of around Easter? It’s like trying to find the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop.

In the world of college sports, the selection process for the NCAA men’s basketball teams is Sunday, with the women’s selection on Monday. Of course, to get to the weekend, we must get through Friday night first.

A three-peat for the {2-2-1-1} Pattern wasn’t in the cards on March 9^th drawing. The King of Mega Millions Patterns kicked off the weekend instead.

Three Number Combination(s)

What with March Madness right around the corner, it wouldn’t just be enough for the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern to appear, would it? There were two repeating Three-Number Combinations, one of which has played twice before!

• 17, 18, 46 (Debuted January 12^th, 2018)
• 7, 46, 66 (Debuted August 23^rd, 2016, and was last seen October 28^th, 2016)

With March Madness officially starting on March 13^th (on a Tuesday, no less), will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern make an encore?
