The Mega Millions Combination “Fall”-out

Fall arrived for Mega Millions Tuesday night, and this lottery fell for repeating Three-Number Combinations hard! But first, let’s take the time to mention that the {3-2-1} Pattern did not make an encore appearance. Mega Millions didn’t need a Pattern encore to send the jackpot to $267 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {3-1-1-1} Pattern of September 26, 2023 was thanks to 15, 30, 35, 42, 60 and MB 16. This Pattern has now played 173 times. There have now been 918 Mega Millions drawings, and this Pattern has played 19.5% of the time. We last saw the {3-1-1-1} Pattern September 19, 2023.

The [1-3-1-1] General Order, now with 58 appearances, has played in 33.5% of the 173 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 918 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 6.32% of the time. September 5, 2023 was the last time the [1-3-1-1] General Order was featured.

Now with six appearances, the 0 1 3 0 1 1 Specific Order has played in 10.3% of the 58 drawings where the General Order was [1-3-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 3.47% of the 173 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.65% of all 918 drawings.

How far will the jackpot grow?

Simmering Down at Summer’s End

Summer’s just about over. For real, this time. The sun is rising later and setting earlier, temperatures are starting to (mostly) come down, and it’s pumpkin spice latte season once again. For Mega Millions, summer’s end taking a break from the madness of repeating Combinations and resisting the urge to feature Pattern encores. At least, that’s the path this lottery is taking so far.

The September 19, 2023 drawing is nothing like what we saw Friday night. The only similarity was a rising jackpot. As everything settled down, the jackpot grew to $205 million.

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 6, 9, 13, 29, 66 and MB 24, the {3-1-1-1} Pattern made its 172nd appearance. This Pattern has now played in 18.8% of the 916 Mega Millions drawings and was last seen September 5, 2023.

The [3-1-1-1] General Order, now with 65 appearances, has played in 37.8% of the 172 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern.

Three-Number Combinations

A couple of repeating Three-Number Combinations were present:

Is Mega Millions resting up as part of a grand summer finale Friday night, or will this be the week to just chill?

Playing it Straight

Mega Millions doesn’t look down its nose at Pattern streaks and has been known to flirt with jackpots worth over $1 billion. Of course, this momentum can’t be sustained every drawing. Let it be known, however, that when Mega Millions takes a break, it still finds a way to make a big impact!

There were no fancy plays Tuesday night, and the jackpot has a way yet before it’s even close to reaching the billion-dollar mark. The jackpot grew closer to it, though, as it’s now worth $122 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Three-Number Combinations

Is Mega Millions going to continue with a calmer approach Friday night, or will it fully embrace the madness of multiple repeating Three-Number Combinations?

The Dog Days of Lotto Texas and Powerball

Students are heading back to school, and the intense heat bears down even harder. As people wonder whose idea it was to send kids back in ridiculously hot temperatures, Lotto Texas and Powerball kicked up a storm. And, like a summer storm, things felt much hotter after everything settled.

August 23, 2023 meant an Australia Play and Combinations galore! Well, that, and jackpots that climbed to $5.75 million and $345 million, respectively.

Lotto Texas

Are Pattern encores and rising jackpots in store for Saturday night, or will Lotto Texas and Powerball have other plans?

A Whiff of $2 Billion

Mega Millions is certainly hardy! This lottery has masterfully thwarted all who desire its jackpot. Dreams of early retirement have shriveled and blown away in the presence of Mega Millions these past few months. Looking at Friday night’s results, Mega Millions is like this summer’s disturbingly persistent heat. That is, Mega Millions is not relenting anytime soon.

August 4, 2023 was much like any other Friday night. Millions started their weekend off with a night out and a stopover at their local convenience store. That billion-dollar jackpot was too big to ignore, so why not take a shot at it, right? Alas, like so many other Friday nights over the past three, soon to be four months, no one walked away with the prize. As the jackpot grew to $1.55 billion, the idea of a $2 billion jackpot became less farfetched.  

General Lottery Analysis

Will the jackpot really hit the $2 billion mark next week, or will the jackpot be won?

The Mega Millions 900

To say that Tuesday night was a momentous night for mega Millions would be an understatement. It was on that night, July 25, 2023, that Mega Millions hosted its 900th drawing. The jackpot grew to $910 million, and we can assure you that this lottery did not go about this quietly!

Four-Number Combination

Mega Millions thought Tuesday night was a golden opportunity for a repeating Four-Number Combination!

Three-Number Combinations

Naturally, a repeating Four-Number Combination would have four repeating Three-Number Combinations buried inside. The Combinations were:

  • 3, 5, 6
  • 3, 5, MB 25
  • 5, 6, MB 25
  • 3, 6, MB 25

All the above Combinations debuted in the earlier-mentioned May 24th drawing. Mega Millions, in fact, had room for two more:

Will the 901st Mega Millions drawing be the one where the jackpot rises to one billion dollars?

Married to the Encore

What comes to mind when you hear “June”? Summer, of course, or winter if you’re from the Southern Hemisphere, but what else? The astrological-minded think of Gemini and Cancer. The year being (nearly) halfway over is both exciting and disturbing; time seems to flow faster as you get older! June is also a popular time for weddings, and with weddings (and darn near everything else) costing an arm and a leg these days, it’d be nice to have that nest egg. Want to go crazy on the wedding, have enough to splurge on the honeymoon, put down payment on a house, and have plenty of money to spare? Mega Millions can help with that. However, this lottery has a way of hitching itself to something that boosts the jackpot.

June 30, 2023 was the night that Mega Millions renewed its commitment to the {3-1-1-1} Pattern. With that commitment came the nurturing of a monster. The jackpot grew to a stupendous $400 million!

As the temperatures continued to climb and even the biggest summer enthusiasts had to take it easy, Mega Millions decided to follow suit.
