Friday nights are usually about one of the following: (1) Chilling at home and (2) Going out. Although Mega Millions didn’t go out with anyone November 19, 2021, it did go all out. Friday night saw this lottery go to town with not only its Pattern, but the General and Specific Orders as well. By “go to town”, we mean encores, and this playback encore was responsible for sending the jackpot to $83 million.
General Lottery Analysis
With winning numbers 5, 23, 52, 53, 59 and MB 18, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 308th appearance.
There have now been 725 Mega Millions drawings, and this Pattern has played 42.5% of the time.
The [1-1-2-1-1] General Order, now with 95 appearances, has played in 30.8% of the 308 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 725 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 13.1% of the time.
Now with 14 appearances, the 1 1 0 2 1 1 Specific Order has played in 14.7% of the 95 drawings where the General Order was [1-1-2-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 4.55% of all 308 drawings and in 1.93% of all 725 drawings.
Prior to Friday night, we last saw the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, [1-1-2-1-1] General Order, and 1 1 0 2 1 1 Specific Order in the November 16, 2021 drawing.
Three-Number Combinations
As the playback encore took place, a couple of repeating Three-Number Combinations surfaced:
- 23, 53, 59 (Debuted March 23, 2018)
- 23, 59, MB 18 (Debuted January 16, 2018)
Will there be a playback three-peat Tuesday night, or will Mega Millions have other plans?
