With the school year wrapping up and Memorial Day being the unofficial start of summer, Mega Millions was revved up and ready to go! Even though it wasn’t the lottery to finish out May (that joint honor belongs to Powerball and Lotto Texas this year), Tuesday night was anything but quiet. An effective use of a Pattern encore pushed the jackpot over the $200 million line. More specifically, the jackpot grew to $203 million.
