July 4, 2023 belonged to Mega Millions! As Americans went about celebrating their Independence Day (this may or may not include watching the movie of that same name), Mega Millions launched its own brand of fireworks Tuesday night. This lottery dazzled players with a common Pattern and repeating Three-Number Combinations galore! Once the razzle dazzle subsided, this lottery got away with a monster of a jackpot, now standing at $427 million.
