Time flies, doesn’t it? Why, it seemed like yesterday we were greeting 2022 with welcome arms, hopeful that it would be better than the two preceding years. Now, some 360-odd days later, we’re happy to be rid of it. As people prepared to celebrate Friday night, Mega Millions saw a major winding down.
First, Mega Millions broke it off with the {2-2-1-1} Pattern. Second, no one was able to bring the jackpot down to size. This lottery ended its 2022 stint with a prize that easily towered above the others, a prize worth $785 million!
