Mega Millions’ Blockbuster Jackpot

Movie theaters almost seem antiquated, don’t they? Even the best performing movies end up on a streaming service and/or made available for purchase six weeks later. Why on earth would anyone go? For one, humans are social creatures that need more than the simulacra of social media (Translation: We thrive better when physically interacting with others, even if tangentially), and some movies just look and sound better on the big screen. Going further, some movies connect people on a more global scale, raking in hundreds of millions, sometimes billions of dollars and become part of the wider culture. The blockbusters. Now, blockbusters are associated with movies, true, but let’s consider a different kind. A lottery kind.

June 28, 2022 was a blockbuster night for Mega Millions. Thousands of people shot their shot, and thousands of people could connect over the disappointment of loss. Regardless of how players felt about their losses, the jackpot grew to $360 million.

What plans does Mega Millions have in store for July? Will the jackpot continue to soar, or will it be brought down?

Mega Millions’ Right to a Near Playback

The human world is a messy place. Things aren’t always what they seem, and nothing can ever be taken for granted. Although lotteries have their fancies and like to play tricks on players from time to time, they have no pretenses. In the lottery world, indeed the number world, what you see is what you get. Numbers don’t lie. There is a method to their madness, and Mega Millions’ madness was on display June 24, 2022.

No {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore was in the cards, and an Australia Play? Forget about it! However, in a prime display of “Almost doesn’t count”, we were graced with the presence of a “near” playback. Of course, that jackpot didn’t care one way or the other, for that “near” playback sent the jackpot to an astonishing $328 million!

Will the Mega Millions jackpot continue to soar as summer kicks into full gear?

Mega Millions: Dawn of a New Summer

And so, it has come. After weeks of brutal heat, summer is officially here! Yet, you can’t help but get the feeling that the summers may be hotter than they were when you were a kid. Oh well, nothing like a dip in the pool or tubing down river can’t fix, right? Or, how about some Mega Millions? That’ll help take your mind off the humidity and give you an endless summer, of sorts. Thing is, you’re going to need both persistence and patience.

As the temperatures stayed high, Mega Millions cooled down. An encore for the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern didn’t materialize, but the jackpot rose all the same. In fact, it shot up well past the $300 million mark, stopping at $312 million when all was said and done.

General Lottery Analysis

Will the jackpot continue to rise through the summer, fueled by Pattern encores and Pattern streaks?

A Common Pattern Turns Up the Heat

Even though the calendar says summer is a few days away, it’s already here! Even though a good chunk of June technically falls under spring in the Northern Hemisphere, the temperatures have been more like we’d expect in July or even August. Rain showers cool everything down for a bit, but in some places, those have been in short supply. Like June 2022, Mega Millions hasn’t cooled down, either.

In fact, the heat got turned up Friday night. Thanks to a very common Pattern, the Mega Millions jackpot swelled to $290 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The featured Pattern for June 17, 2022 was {2-1-1-1-1}. With winning numbers 20, 36, 53, 56, 69 and MB 16, this Pattern has now played 335 times.

June 21st will be the official start of the summer, and Mega Millions will have the honor of being the first lottery of the new season! Is summer going to start with a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore?

Mix One Near-Playback with One Repeating Combination Cluster

We’re halfway through June and two things have been consistent: hot days and a rising Mega Millions jackpot. Upon taking a closer look at the June 14, 2022 drawing, that jackpot went one way, and that was up! After the dust settled, the prize had grown to $273 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Rather than go for a {3-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat, Mega Millions decided to go with the uncommonly seen {4-1-1} Pattern. With winning numbers 30, 37, 38, 42, 58 and MB 22, this Pattern has played 17 times.

Both the {4-1-1} Pattern and the [4-1-1] General Order were last seen September 4, 2020.

Now with two appearances, the 0 0 4 0 1 1 Specific Order has played in 22.2% of the nine drawings where the General Order was [4-1-1].

Will the jackpot soar ever higher Friday night?

Hot Weather. Hotter Mega Millions

August in June. That’s what it currently feels like in some parts of the U.S. Case in point, Lottery Trend headquarters is flirting with triple digits! It’s times like these we should be thankful for the many ways we can escape the heat like air conditioning, swimming pools, and lotteries.

Believe it or not, lotteries are great for escaping the heat. In the moments you’re picking out numbers, you’re forgetting about how hot it is, or at least trying to. With the millions and millions of dollars up for grabs, you can escape on a Caribbean cruise. If that’s still too warm, you can mosey on down to Australia, where winter is on its way! Unfortunately, if you played Mega Millions June 10, 2022, then you’ll be putting off those escape plans for now.

Mega Millions sent a powerful message by bringing back the {3-1-1-1} Pattern. With it came ripped up tickets, swearing and gnashing of teeth, and a jackpot that grew to $247 million.

The {3-1-1-1} Pattern encore was made possible by 3, 12, 14, 18, 32 and MB 4. This Pattern has now played 148 times.

So far, the {3-1-1-1} Pattern appears to be dominating June, and the jackpot is nearly a quarter of a billion dollars! Could it be a {3-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat that keeps the jackpot rising, or will Mega Millions have other plans?

Night of the Three-peat Blocker

Mega Millions began June the same way it ended May: with an appearance by the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. This Pattern is the most common Pattern in Mega Millions, and one reason for that is its tendency to repeat itself. Once the Pattern makes an appearance, an encore may not be far behind! And why stop there? That encore can be the steppingstone to a larger Pattern streak! But to get there, a three-peat needs to happen first. Thing is, that three-peat isn’t always meant to be.

A {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern certainly wasn’t meant to be Tuesday night. That three-peat blocker sent the jackpot to $226 million.

General Lottery Analysis

June 7, 2022 was a night for the {3-1-1-1} Pattern to shine. With winning numbers 4, 34, 40, 41, 53 and MB 3, this Pattern has now played 147 times.

How long will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern absence last?

Mega Millions in “Call of the Encore”

A new month means new beginnings. June, for example, is the start of summer vacation for many students and the start of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. However, a new month can also be a continuation of something else, like a new hobby or a new routine. Or, in Mega Millions’ case, the continued appearance of a Pattern.

June 3, 2022 meant kicking off the weekend with a Pattern encore (and then some)! These elements boosted the jackpot to $204 million.

Friday night’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore was thanks to 11, 16, 22, 48, 59 and MB 11. This Pattern has now played 334 times.

Could this {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore be the start of a massive summer streak?

The Rush to a Common Pattern

Whether you’re blessed with summer vacation or must face another work week, one thing everyone (well, most everyone) can agree on is that the weekend goes by too fast. Will we breeze through to Friday, or will the journey there be a slog? Sure, this week is a short one, but inquiring minds want to know! Human minds, anyway.

Mega Millions wasn’t at all concerned about the speed a work week flows. This lottery’s focus was on how to end the month of May. After a wild Friday, there wasn’t enough energy for another go with the {2-2-1-1} Pattern. Mega Millions took a more common approach, Pattern-wise that is, and that was enough to boost the grand prize to $189 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 333rd appearance May 31, 2022, thanks to 6, 15, 41, 63, 64 and MB 24.

Kicking Back with a Playback

After a long slog, it’s finally here. Sure, those long, carefree summer breaks of yore are but a memory, but you’ll take any day that lengthens the weekend. That’s right: Memorial Day is here! Even though it’s a three-day weekend, you’re going to wonder “Where’d the time go?!” just like you do every other weekend. There are ways to ignore that unpleasant feeling of weekends that seem to go by too fast, if only for a little bit. Going to the beach is one and enjoying the creature comforts of air conditioning and streaming is another. Mega Millions can make the dread of another work week go away, but it’ll cost you at least a couple of bucks. The keyword here, of course, is can.

Mega Millions had something to say about that Friday night: “Don’t quit your day jobs, folks!”

After dominating the lottery landscape, the {3-2-1} Pattern was set aside. The idea of a {3-2-1} Pattern three-peat in Mega Millions, of all places, was promptly squashed by something just as effective, if not more: a playback! The result was a jackpot that grew to $170 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The May 27, 2022 Mega Millions drawing featured the 216th appearance of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern, with winning numbers 3, 14, 40, 53, 54 and MB 8.
