February means, “Spring is just around the corner. You just have to go through more winter first!” The cold keeps coming, and the hot drink consumption keeps climbing. One way to keep warm is to get your body moving. Running is one way, dancing is another, but there’s one you probably don’t think about much. If you do, then you probably have young kids, or you’re thinking about rabbits or kangaroos.
Yes, we’re talking about hopping, and Mega Millions did just that Friday night! Instead of going with a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore, this lottery hitched its star to an Australia Play. This had the intended effect of pushing the jackpot to $31 million.

The February 4, 2022 Australia Play was made possible by 7, 16, 34, 44, 61 and MB 24. The {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern, [1-1-1-1-1-1] General Order, and 1 1 1 1 1 1 Specific Order have now played 23 times.

If having six months between the last Australia Play wasn’t something, then a trio of repeating Three-Number Combinations certainly was!
