Hard to believe that this wild year is two-thirds over, isn’t it? With the start of September comes the end of the summer in two rounds. The first round is Labor Day weekend, and although not as big as the Fourth of July or even Memorial Day, few would pass up one last day at the beach or a three-day weekend. For Mega Millions, this year’s Labor Day weekend means holding on to the feistiness of the summer spirit.
September 1, 2023 meant sticking with a “common” Pattern. However, the results were far from blasé. For starters, the jackpot grew to $101 million.
