Nothing lasts forever. What goes up must come down. What do these clichés have to do with Mega Millions? Everything.

These fine clichés applied to Mega Millions this past Tuesday night. Thanks to a single player from New Jersey, the current cycle of a rising jackpot came to an end. In turn, the prize money up for grabs reset to $40 million.

Three-Number Combination(s)

To add to the insanity, there were two repeating Three-Number Combinations!

• 4, 6, 52 (Debuted July 28^th, 2017)
• 32, 52, MB 6 (Debuted March 5^th, 2019)

Even though a massive jackpot has been won, there’s still the matter of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. Will it be cheeky enough to come back for an encore Friday night?
