The second of two posts tonight.
Mega Millions couldn’t make up its mind about the Pattern. A week ago, it embraced the {3-2-1} Pattern. In the previous drawing, that was ditched for the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. Guess which of these Patterns Mega Millions went for in the April 16, 2021 drawing?
The consistency in Friday night’s drawing lied with the jackpot. None of the players were able to match all six numbers. Naturally, the prize rose to $257 million. The jackpot had been on the rise since February.
