As October winds down and the World Series is about to kick off (Go ‘stros!), Mega Millions saw a triple Tuesday night. By “triple”, we mean a repeating Three-Number Combination that played thrice! That’s fancy talk for “three times”. As the triple offender of a Combination hitched its star to Mega Millions, the jackpot climbed to $64 million.
