The days are getting longer and hotter, the countdown to summer has begun, and Mega Millions wants in! How do you think a lottery could mark the (near) halfway point of May?
- A Pattern streak
- A monstrously large jackpot
- An uncommon Pattern
On May 14, 2019, Mega Millions took a bit from (b) and a bit from (c). The uncommon Pattern threw players for a loop once again. The grand prize going into Friday night will be $339 million! Mild spoiler: This was the work of the {4-1-1} Pattern.
General Lottery Analysis
With winning numbers 11, 59, 66, 67, 68, and MB 18, the {4-1-1} Pattern made its 11th appearance.
Of the 462 Mega Millions drawings, this Pattern has played 2.38% of the time and was last seen June 12, 2018.
The [1-4-1] General Order, now with five appearances, has played in roughly 45.5% of the eleven drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern. This General Order has also played in 1.08% of all 462 drawings. Prior to Tuesday night, the [1-4-1] General Order played June 10, 2016.
