Another Tuesday has passed, which also meant another Mega Millions drawing. The 358th, to be exact. There was more to May 15th than just that, however:
- May is halfway done
- National Chocolate Chip Day (US)
- For those of you keeping up with the NBA Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers.
- Some lucky students are about to start summer vacation soon (US)
And, above all else, there was a Pattern three-peat.
General Lottery Analysis
Mega Millions helped itself to a third serving of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. Its 159th appearance was thanks to winning numbers 21, 34, 44, 49, 61, and MB 21.
Of the 358 drawings so far, this Pattern has played in 44.4% of them.
With 43 appearances, the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order has played in 27.0% of the 159 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. This General Order has also played in 12.0% of all 358 drawings. Prior to Tuesday night, the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order played on April 24, 2018.

This Specific Order has also played in 6.29% of the 159 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern, and in 2.79% of all 358 drawings. We last saw the 0 1 1 2 1 1 Specific Order in the April 6, 2018 drawing.
Three Number Combination(s)
A repeating Three-Number Combination or two would be icing on the three-peat cake. Thing is, there were no such Combinations Tuesday night.
Will the {2-1-1-1-1} finish the week with a four-peat, or will another Pattern take the reins?
