A Pattern streak would’ve been an impactful way to end August. After all, this is the (unofficial) last weekend of summer. What better way to kick off the Labo(u)r Day weekend than a Pattern streak?

Mega Millions had other plans in the August 30^th, 2019 drawing. Instead of a Pattern streak, or even an encore, it went with an uncommonly played Pattern. This had the effect of propelling the prize to $137 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {3-2-1} Pattern made its 21^st appearance with 3, 9, 11, 34, 39, and MB 10.

This Pattern has played in 4.26% of the 493 Mega Milliions drawings.

The [3-2-1] General Order, now with 11 appearances, has played in 52.4% of the 21 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 493 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 2.23% of the time.

Both the {3-2-1} Pattern and the [3-2-1] General Order were last seen in the July 26^th, 2019 drawing.

Now with two appearances, the 3 0 2 0 0 1 Specific Order has played in 18.2% of the 11 drawings where [3-2-1] was the General Order. This Specific Order has also played in 9.52% of the 21 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.41% of all 493 drawings. We first saw the 3 0 2 0 0 1 Specific Order April 21^st, 2017.

Three-Number Combination(s)

This uncommon Pattern was also accompanied by two repeating Three-Number Combinations:

• 9, 11, MB 10 (Debuted July 7^th, 2017 )
• 11, 34, MB 10 (Debuted April 16^th, 2019)

Autumn is right around the corner. That means pumpkin spice lattes and…Halloween. That Mega Millions prize is a robust size. Will it achieve a beastly size come September’s end or will it be mowed down?
