Well, folks, they finally happened, and yes, we meant “they”! Mega Millions kicked off the weekend with another round of “combinationing”. While out and about, this lottery featured a playback that wasn’t produced by an Australia Play and had its jackpot brought down by not one but two players! After that wild night, the prize was reset to $20 million.

Four-Number Combination
On Mega Millions’ Friday night “combinationing” adventure, a repeating Four-Number Combination came on board! That Combination, 9, 22, 41 and MB 19, debuted June 8, 2021.
Three-Number Combinations
Naturally, that repeating Four-Number Combination had four repeating Three-Number Combinations bundled inside. Naturally those Combinations debuted in the same June 8th drawing:
- 9, 22, 41
- 9, 22, MB 19
- 22, 41, MB 19
- 9, 41, MB 19
Those weren’t the only repeating Three-Number Combinations. Repeating Three-Number Combination 22, 26 and 44 debuted June 16, 2017.
With the jackpot having been brought back down to earth, things will be cooling down in Mega Millions for a bit. How much this lottery will cool down in the week ahead is anyone’s guess. There doesn’t need to be a massive jackpot for a lottery to cause a ruckus!
