Even with the suggestions (read: orders) to stay home, Mega Millions was willing to take chances. This lottery went all out Friday night, and it was rewarded handsomely. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made a three-peat appearance, for one! Other goodies included a [1-1-1-2-1] General Order encore and a couple of repeating Three-Number Combinations. Would you believe that this trifecta occurred on April 3, 2020? The payoff was another jackpot rise, climbing to $127 million after it was all said and done.
