The smell of Thanksgiving is in the air! Whether you’re prepping for the big feast or plan to travel and let someone else do the prepping (we won’t tell), there’s no doubt that many are looking forward to the long weekend. What’s more is that many restrictions have been lifted, which helps make the holiday season feel more like, well, the holidays!
Mega Millions prepared for Thanksgiving the one way it knew how: By throwing in a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat. Tuesday night’s play led to the jackpot rising to $94 million.
