In an amazing twist of events, Mega Millions was host to a special repeating Three-Number Combination. So special, in fact, that it played four (yes, four) times! First things first, though: We need to discuss the actual August 27^th, 2019 drawing. Tuesday night didn’t produce an Australia Play encore this time. However, there was a rising jackpot. No grand prize winner meant a prize that climbed to $113 million.

Three-Number Combination(s)

The lone repeating Three-Number Combination, 8, 43, and MB 6 has played three times before! Those dates were

• April 18^th, 2017 (2^nd time)

The last August Mega Millions drawing will be held this Friday. We’ve passed the window for a Pattern streak to end the month, but could a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore be in the works?
