Beer and barbeque. Beach weather. Holiday weekend! All these and more were perfectly good reasons for Mega Millions to pile on with a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore. It would have made for a stellar kick off to the summer season. There were other plans for the May 22, 2020 drawing. However, one plan that stuck around was the rising jackpot. With the grand prize unclaimed yet again, it rose to $313 million.

Hopes for a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak may have been quashed, but there’s still one week left. The {2-2-1-1} Pattern has been known to repeat itself. Could that be the source of a potential Pattern streak?
