Mega Millions was out and about this past Friday, what with a similar spread, a Pattern encore, and a repeating Three-Number Combination duo. Tuesday night was another matter. There was no similar spread, and a Pattern three-peat wasn’t meant to be. Meanwhile, the jackpot continued upward, stopping at $135 million.
