Please keep the people of Puerto Rico, Dominica, and Mexico in your thoughts and prayers. Puerto Rico and Dominica are both dealing with the devastation of Hurricane Maria, and Mexico was hit by two earthquakes, with several hundred dead.
September 19, 2017 was the penultimate Mega Millions drawing of the summer. How interesting that Tuesday night’s drawing featured an Australia Play! Was it because it hadn’t played in six months, or was it because in Australia, spring is right around the corner?
With winning numbers 9, 28, 31, 50, 61, and MB 10, the {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 14th appearance.

The thing about an Australia Play in Mega Millions is that both the [1-1-1-1-1-1] General Order and the 1 1 1 1 1 1 Specific Order also made their 14th appearance. Given that there have been 409 Mega Millions drawings to date, the Australia Play has played 3.42% of the time. We last saw an Australia Play in the March 7, 2017 drawing.
Hopping alongside the Australia Play were two repeating Three-Number Combinations:
- 9, 28, MB 10 (Debuted July 7, 2017)
- 31, 50, MB 10 (Debuted July 21, 2017)

Mega Millions says goodbye to summer in Lottery Trend Country this Friday. Will there be a big shakeup, or will the evening be a quiet one?
