Yes, yes, the “real” unlucky date is Friday the 13th, but for Mega Millions’ {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, June 13, 2023 was an unlucky night. The streak that was running since Memorial Day weekend came to a halt. So much for that sixth consecutive drawing! However, one good thing that did come from Tuesday night’s results was a jackpot that grew to $281 million, pleasing both this lottery and the players alike.
