Summer is a distant memory, and winter has decided to pay an early visit. Like Mother Nature, Mega Millions continues with its routine, caring not what mere mortals think. Given how cold it’s been lately, this lottery thought, “Let’s heat things up a bit”. A closer look at the November 18, 2022 results shows that “a bit” is an understatement!
Mega Millions continued to hold the title of “Largest Jackpot”. A Pattern three-peat made the jump to $259 million possible.
