Addiction. Now that’s a loaded word. When most people see or hear “addiction”, they’re thinking of someone who can’t resist. Just one more swig. Just one more slice of pizza. Just. One. More. What now, do you do if a lottery has an addiction?
A strange question, true, but since the beginning of October, Mega Millions has hitched itself to the {2-2-1-1} Pattern. As Mega Millions stuck with this Pattern, the jackpot continued to rise. On October 12, 2021, Mega Millions thought, “Just one more round”. Sticking with the {2-2-1-1} Pattern for the fourth time in a row led to the jackpot rising handsomely to $84 million.
