There aren’t any U.S. holidays associated with August, at least none that are federally recognized. Many staples of “normal” life are either still closed or operating at minimal capacity, and the start of school? Well, let’s not think about that. In fact, let’s escape the madness for a while. Can’t really go anywhere, so streaming and Mega Millions will have to do.
Thing is, Mega Millions was unkind. That multimillion-dollar jackpot would have been a much-welcome escape from the rat race, and there wouldn’t be much (if any) worry about the kids’ education. On the other hand, more money was added to the pot, so it wasn’t all bad. The boost to $40 million was thanks to the workings of a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore.
