With the malaise of August shaken off, and what with the month nearly over, Mega Millions calmed down. Three repeating Three-Number Combinations is a tough act to follow! However, this did not mean an uneventful night. As of the August 28, 2018 drawing, the jackpot stands at $152 million, and there may have been a shout-out to this past Friday night.
