The mighty Mega Millions jackpot was chopped down last Friday. A lone player picked the six winning numbers and became over half a billion dollars richer. On a more recent note, the May 25, 2021 drawing saw the beginning of the jackpot regrowth process. A boost to $22 million was a healthy start.

One great thing about lottery analysis is that even though a lottery gets knocked down, it’s never out for long! Will this be the beginning of another long growth process, or will this jackpot tree be chopped down much sooner?
