Whether we like it or not, change is one of those things in life that’s inevitable. And yet, the results of change are sometimes not predictable! Take this past Friday’s Mega Millions drawing for example. There was Pattern encore, and given the Pattern that had played, it wouldn’t have been out of sorts to expect a three-peat for June 18, 2019.
That three-peat didn’t come. What did come that night was a jackpot that rose to $55 million and madness amongst the repeating Three-Number Combinations.
General Lottery Analysis
The {2-2-1-1} Pattern was the one who blocked the three-peat. With winning numbers 12, 14, 22, 24, 48, and MB 21, this Pattern has played 134 times.
Of the 472 Mega Millions drawing, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has played 28.4% of the time and was last seen May 31, 2019.
The [2-2-1-1] General Order, now with 43 appearances, has played in 32.1% of the 134 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 472 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 9.11% of the time. We last saw the [2-2-1-1] General Order April 19, 2019.

Three-Number Combination(s)
If you enjoy repeating Three-Number Combinations, then Tuesday was a good night for you! The four Combinations were
- 12, 14, 24 (Debuted November 17, 2015 and was last seen February 26, 2019)
- 12, 14, 48 (Debuted December 20, 2016)
- 14, 24, 48 (Debuted February 8, 2019)
- 22, 24, MB 21 (Debuted April 5, 2019)
Some of these Combinations were seen not too long ago. Who would’ve expected them to show up again so soon?
As in nature, so it is in lottery. Change is inevitable, no matter how small it may seem. The seasons are a changin’ and we’ll be going into Friday night with lots of momentum. We’ll have to wait and see what else changes.
