August 2021 ended on a Mega Millions note. Since May, the jackpot has been nurtured through sheer thwarting of players. Pattern streaks and Australia Plays had a role in creating the beast of a jackpot currently up for grabs. August 31st was yet another fine night where the massive jackpot grew once more, stopping at $323 million.
