The act of “combinationing” is more than just a lottery having a night out. There are many, emphasis on many, repeating Combinations to be had. A Tuesday night can be just as good a night for Mega Millions to go “combinationing” as a Friday night. Better, even!
October 11, 2022 was a wild night for sure. As Mega Millions hit the Combination scene, a jackpot continued its growth spurt. The behemoth grew ever larger, towering at $494 million.
General Lottery Analysis
Mega Millions didn’t bother with a playback, let alone an Australia Play. Instead, it was time to give attention to a Pattern that doesn’t get much play: the {4-1-1} Pattern! With winning numbers 3, 7, 11, 13, 38 and MB 1, this Pattern made its 18th appearance.
This Pattern has now played in 2.20% of the 818 Mega Millions drawings.
The [4-1-1] General Order, now with 10 appearances, has played in 55.6% of the 18 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 818 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 1.22% of the time.
Both the {4-1-1} Pattern and the [4-1-1] General Order were last seen June 14, 2022.
A playback wasn’t meant to be, obviously, but what say you to the debut of a Specific Order? More specifically, the 4 0 1 0 0 1 Specific Order? Naturally, this Specific Order has played in 10% of the 10 drawings where the General Order was [4-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 5.56% of the 18 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.12% of all 818 drawings.
