Summer’s just about over. For real, this time. The sun is rising later and setting earlier, temperatures are starting to (mostly) come down, and it’s pumpkin spice latte season once again. For Mega Millions, summer’s end taking a break from the madness of repeating Combinations and resisting the urge to feature Pattern encores. At least, that’s the path this lottery is taking so far.
The September 19, 2023 drawing is nothing like what we saw Friday night. The only similarity was a rising jackpot. As everything settled down, the jackpot grew to $205 million.

Is Mega Millions resting up as part of a grand summer finale Friday night, or will this be the week to just chill?
