The Mega Millions Summer Jackpot Finale

September 21, 2021 was the last day of summer. How fitting it was that the Mega Millions jackpot was finally won! After four months of rising prizes, a lone player from New York won enough money to start an empire. Naturally, the jackpot reset itself to $20 million.

There have now been 708 Mega Millions drawings, and this Pattern has played 5.23% of the time. We last saw this Pattern September 3, 2021.

The [2-3-1] General Order, now with 18 appearances, has played in 48.6% of the 37 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 708 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 2.54% of the time. The [2-3-1] General Order was last seen August 27, 2021.

As the Mega Millions jackpot was being brought to its knees, the 0 0 2 3 0 1 Specific Order made its debut! With that said, this Specific Order has now played in 5.56% of the 18 drawings where the General Order was [2-3-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 2.70% of the 37 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.14% of all 708 drawings.

A new season is certainly in view, but will the {3-2-1} Pattern stick around Friday night?

Mega Millions and Chill

Friday night has come at last! The job is a distant memory, until Sunday night anyway, and it’s time to get the weekend started. Something’s playing at the movie theatre, right? What about the restaurant that opened a few months ago? Nothing kicks the weekend off like a good meal.

Well, there is one thing that might rival those. Friday nights are Mega Millions nights, you know. Wouldn’t it be something to play and walk away a multimillionaire? Play your cards right (see what we did there?) and you won’t have to ever count down to the weekend again!

Unfortunately, the dream of becoming a “Friday night multimillionaire” was deferred for many. Mega Millions managed to thwart the players Friday night with little effort. Simply through the power of chilling out, the jackpot received a boost, resting at $432 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Even though Mega Millions decided to chill, September 17, 2021 was when the {2-2-1-1} Pattern came back for an encore! With winning numbers 17, 32, 40, 59, 61 and MB 18, this Pattern has now played 195 times.

There have now been 707 Mega Millions drawings, and this Pattern has played 27.6% of the time. Recall that the {2-2-1-1} Pattern was last seen September 14, 2021.

The [1-2-2-1] General Order, now with 70 appearances, has played in 35.9% of the 195 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 707 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 9.90% of the time. We last saw the [1-2-2-1] General Order August 20, 2021.

Now with nine appearances, the 0 1 2 0 2 1 Specific Order has played in 12.9% of the 70 drawings where the General Order was [1-2-2-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 4.62% of the 195 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.27% of all 707 drawings. Prior to Friday night, the 0 1 2 0 2 1 Specific Order played January 31, 2020.

Three-Number Combinations

Part of chilling on a Friday night is the lack of repeating Three-Number Combinations.

The last (true) day of summer is on September 21st, and Mega Millions has the honor of having a drawing. Will this coming Tuesday spell the end of the jackpot run?

The Mega Millions 400 (Million)

Mega Millions has had quite the summer! For nearly four months, its jackpot has yet to be won. The jackpot managed to give players the slip once again Tuesday night. From a glass half-full perspective, it provided another chance to claim an even more massive jackpot! Mega Millions crossed the $400 million threshold; $405 million became up for grabs.

Will the Mega Millions jackpot get another boost Friday night, or will its summer run come to an end?

Mega Millions’ Monumental Summer

The (traditional) summer is over. All that’s left are the memories and depending on where you live, the heat and humidity. That, and one other thing. There’s still the matter of the Mega Millions jackpot!

Since the end of May, this jackpot has steadily increased, and has recently started growing by leaps and bounds. After nearly four months, growth showed no sign of slowing down. September 10, 2021 did wonders for the jackpot. Although no one could claim the grand prize, an even larger prize would await them next week. The jackpot, large and strong, grew even larger to $383 million.

Mega Millions’ Smashing September Start

Even though September 21st is the official last day of summer, Labor Day is considered the traditional end of the season. Although many schools and colleges have been in session for several weeks, the day after Labor Day, later even, is when the school year traditionally started in the United States. Whether you and/or your kids have been in class for several weeks or have yet to start, a three-day weekend is always welcome.

Fireworks aren’t often associated with Labor Day celebrations, but Mega Millions put on a show! This lottery got things rolling with an uncommonly seen Pattern. That came with an abundance of repeating Three-Number Combinations and a Specific Order making its debut! To top it all off, the already enormous jackpot grew even more to $345 million.

Will another uncommonly seen Pattern in Mega Millions feed the jackpot once more?

Mega Millions: To the Jackpot Beyond

August 2021 ended on a Mega Millions note. Since May, the jackpot has been nurtured through sheer thwarting of players.

August 31st was yet another fine night where the massive jackpot grew once more, stopping at $323 million.

Will Mega Millions bid farewell to August with an ever-increasing jackpot, or will someone claim the prize?

Mega Millions Takes a Breather

Previously, on “Lottery Trend”:

  • Lotto Texas and Powerball extended their domain to Mondays, meaning three nights a week of their madness. August 23, 2021 was the first night featuring this change.
  • This shakeup made the addition of another blogger necessary. Romulun Harris will give you the rundown of these lotteries’ Monday night ventures.
  • Currently, Mega Millions still plays only on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Last week was a busy one for Mega Millions! Both drawings saw similar spreads, and how about that playback this past Friday? Exerting all that energy, not to mention all that happened earlier this week, Tuesday night was the perfect opportunity for this lottery to take a breather. The rest proved beneficial, for the jackpot grew to $288 million.

Will Mega Millions continue to take a break Friday night or be back on its feet?

Bouncy, Energetic Mega Millions

The events that took place August 20, 2021 can be described with one word: “whirlwind”. Mega Millions didn’t know what to do with itself. A playback made an appearance, but that wasn’t enough. No, Mega Millions got greedy. It just had to go crazy with the repeating Three-Number Combinations, and would you believe that there was another similar spread? Bouncing and darting through the lottery smorgasbord propelled the jackpot to $270 million.
