Summer’s over.

Okay, technically there are a few weeks left, but in terms of summer holidays and summer blow-out parties, those days are gone until next year. Traditionally, schools opened their doors after Labo(u)r Day across the U.S., but many schools did so at least a couple of weeks before. This week is for the last hold-outs of summer. To honor the passing of summer, Mega Millions started “the climb” on September 4^th. That “climb” was to a crazy large jackpot. Tuesday night saw the grand prize rise to $187 million, among other things.

General Lottery Analysis

One of those things concerned the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. More specifically, this Pattern was loved so much that it made an encore! With winning numbers 2, 7, 25, 35, 44, and MB 3, it made its 170^th appearance.

Of the 390 Mega Millions drawings, this Pattern has played 43.6% of the time.

The [2-1-1-1-1] General Order made its 47^th appearance and has now played in 27.6% of the 170 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. This General Order has also played in 12.1% of all 390 drawings. Prior to Tuesday night, the [2-1-1-1-1] General Order played on July 20^th, 2018.

Now with seven appearances, the 2 1 1 1 0 1 Specific Order has played in 14.9% of the 47 drawings where the General Order was [2-1-1-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 4.12% of the 170 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Finally, when taking all 390 drawings into consideration, this Specific Order has played 1.79% of the time. We last saw the 2 1 1 1 0 1 Specific Order on March 16^th, 2018.

Three Number Combination(s)

Tuesday night also saw these repeating Three-Number Combinations:

• 7, 44, MB 3 (Debuted December 3^rd, 2013)
• 2, 35, MB 3 (Debuted October 10^th, 2014)

Could the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern go for the three-peat Friday night? Will the Mega Millions jackpot continue to climb upwards?
