How interesting! The hottest days of summer are upon us, and Mega Millions piled on. There has yet to be a grand prize winner and as of the July 10th drawing, the jackpot is $340 million. Of course, the most commonly seen Pattern had to have a hand in this.

One thing for certain is that an insane blowout is on the horizon. Will someone win the grand prize Friday, or will it continue to rise with a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore? If the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern develops a solid Pattern streak as the jackpot rises, the fallout, of course, will be astronomical.
