No two Mega Millions drawings are alike, and there was no better example than what happened December 6, 2022. After taking a sabbatical from repeating Three-Number Combinations Friday night, a bunch of them decided to hitch a ride with an uncommonly seen Pattern! It’s thanks to that Pattern that the jackpot ascended to $379 million.
