A new month means more opportunities to win the lottery. Of course, this also means more lottery shenanigans! August is one of those hot, and strangely, “boring” months. Sure, there’s the whole back-to-school thing, but Lottery Trend Country (the US of A) doesn’t have any holidays. Nothing on the federal level, at least.
Mega Millions took the hint and there was no {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore August 2nd, 2019. Instead, a safe, common approach was taken. The aftermath was the players’ efforts to win the grand prize thwarted once again. For everyone keeping track, the prize rose to $55 million.
