As a month winds down, there are a few choices a lottery has. It can choose to shake things up or follow suit and cool down. Or, and this is the third choice, the lottery stays its current course.
Mega Millions opted to shake it up a bit this past Tuesday. Although the night was absent of wild plays, there was an interesting development with the Specific Order. That, and a rapturous love of repeating Three-Number Combinations, kept the jackpot from being claimed. The jackpot climbed once again, stopping at $60 million.
