It wasn’t that long ago that a monster-sized jackpot was won in Mega Millions. Sometime between then and the June 12, 2020 drawing, Lotto Texas had a brief moment where it had the largest jackpot. The keyword here is “had”. What about Powerball, you ask? It too was recently cut down to size and was on the way to building its jackpot back up, only to be claimed swiftly. With no one able to pick all six numbers, and with a little help from an uncommonly seen Pattern (and the accompanying madness), Mega Millions reigned supreme with a jackpot that climbed to $22 million.
General Lottery Analysis
The {3-2-1} Pattern made its 27th appearance with winning numbers 9, 14, 57, 67, 70, and MB 2.
This Pattern has now played in 4.70% of the 575 Mega Millions drawings and was last seen June 5, 2020.
The [2-3-1] General Order, now with 12 appearances, has played in 44.4% of the 27 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 575 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 2.09% of the time. Prior to Friday night, the [2-3-1] General Order played January 21, 2020.
Now with three appearances, the 2 0 0 0 3 1 Specific Order has played in 25% of the 12 drawings where the General Order was [2-3-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 11.1% of the 27 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.52% of all 575 drawings. We last saw the 2 0 0 0 3 1 Specific Order in the December 21, 2018 drawing.
Three-Number Combination(s)
And now, the madness of the {3-2-1} Pattern. It couldn’t act alone, so it recruited five repeating Three-Number Combinations to act as its groupies:
- 9, 14, 57 (Debuted March 11, 2014)
- 14, 57, 67 (Debuted November 9, 2018)
- 14, 70, MB 2 (Debuted October 15, 2019)

- 9, 57, MB 2 (Debuted April 19, 2016)
Will the Mega Millions jackpot rise again Tuesday night, or will it too hit the reset button?
