Plants need the right balance of water, sunlight, and nutrients to thrive. Lottery jackpots are similar. They need the right balance of Patterns, Orders, and repeating Three-Number (or Four-Number) Combinations to flourish. The longer this is maintained, the bigger the jackpot grows, and the Mega Millions jackpot is certainly flourishing!
“Growth” was the word of the evening July 8, 2022, and there was plenty of it. After yet another night of no grand prize winner, the jackpot grew to $440 million.
