What a difference a night makes! This past Friday saw the return of Mega Millions’ most common Pattern. One would think that as we get closer to the end of the month (and the school year) a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern would be the perfect send-off. No better way to start off summer, right?
A {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak lasting through the end of May would have made a fine transition. Except, Mega Millions had other plans, plans involving a beastly jackpot. The aftermath of the May 21, 2019 drawing was a beast that now looms over the players at an impressive $393 million.

The {3-1-1-1} Pattern made its 88th appearance with winning numbers 10, 50, 55, 56, 58, and MB 15.

Three-Number Combination(s)
Repeating Three-Number Combinations fans rejoice! There were two this time around, one of which had played twice before!
- 10, 50, 56 (Debuted July 6, 2018)

Note the dates the second repeating Three-Number Combination played. It’s not often that a Combination will play again a year right after it debuts!
A holiday weekend is coming up Stateside and there’s a monster jackpot up for grabs. Will the beast grow once more Friday night, or will someone take it down?
