As Christmas grew closer, Mega Millions got bolder! Tuesday night featured an encore for both the Pattern and the General Order. Although the Specific Order didn’t hop aboard the encore train, it has shown up before, albeit in a different form. All these factors came together to push the Mega Millions jackpot to $160 million.
