Mega Millions made history with its $1.6 billion grand prize. In our last Mega Millions post, this beast of a prize was taken down by a lone player from South Carolina. Yet, the ghost still lingered October 26th.
General Lottery Analysis
The {3-1-1-1} Pattern made its 80th appearance with winning numbers 1, 28, 61, 62, 63, and MB 5.

Given that there have been 405 drawings so far, this Pattern has played 19.8% of the time.
The [1-1-3-1] General Order has now played 22 times. With that said, this General Order has played in 27.5% of the 80 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. This General Order has also played in 5.43% of all 405 drawings.
You’re now probably asking, “When did these appear last?” Don’t worry. We’re getting there…
Now with three appearances, the 1 1 0 0 3 1 Specific Order has played in 13.6% of the 22 drawings where [1-1-3-1] was the General Order. This Specific Order has also played in 3.75% of the 80 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Finally, when taking all 405 drawings into consideration, this Specific Order has played 0.74% of the time.
All three were last seen in the history-making October 23, 2018 drawing!
Three Number Combination(s)
The lone repeating Three-Number Combination was 28, 62, and MB 5.

Want to take a guess when this debuted?
Friday night was truly a bizarre end to a bizarre week. Going into “Halloween Eve”, it looks to be much quieter. It will be a while yet before Mega Millions produces another monster that rampages through the countryside and lays waste to cities. Still, one must wonder if a triple encore/playback will show up Tuesday night.
