We’re halfway through June and two things have been consistent: hot days and a rising Mega Millions jackpot. Upon taking a closer look at the June 14, 2022 drawing, that jackpot went one way, and that was up! After the dust settled, the prize had grown to $273 million.
General Lottery Analysis
Rather than go for a {3-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat, Mega Millions decided to go with the uncommonly seen {4-1-1} Pattern. With winning numbers 30, 37, 38, 42, 58 and MB 22, this Pattern has played 17 times.
There have now been 784 Mega Millions drawings, and this Pattern has now played 2.17% of the time.
The [4-1-1] General Order, now with nine appearances, has played in 52.9% of the 17 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 784 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 1.15% of the time.
Both the {4-1-1} Pattern and the [4-1-1] General Order were last seen September 4, 2020.
Now with two appearances, the 0 0 4 0 1 1 Specific Order has played in 22.2% of the nine drawings where the General Order was [4-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 11.8% of the 17 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.26% of all 784 drawings. The 0 0 4 0 1 1 Specific Order made its first appearance April 21, 2015.
Three-Number Combinations
A couple of interesting things happened with the repeating Three-Number Combinations. For starters, one of the Combinations played twice before. The other? Well, would you believe they all debuted in the same year?
