Mega Millions was an energetic one last week. From playing an uncommonly seen Pattern to blasting us with repeating Three-Number Combinations, this lottery went here, there, and everywhere! Even when things were taken down a notch Friday night, there was much energy buzzing in the air. August 23, 2022 was another story.
The scale-back that began a few nights ago came to a head Tuesday night. Yet, the jackpot held strong. In fact, it climbed to $135 million.

Three-Number Combinations
Just as a playback wasn’t meant to be, neither was an appearance by a repeating Three-Number Combination.
Is Friday night going to be another round of mellowness, or will Mega Millions ratch it up to kick off the weekend?
