October 1st. That’s 85 days until Christmas (can’t start a countdown too early), 55 days until U.S. Thanksgiving, and of course, 30 days until Halloween. As we enter the most festive time of year, Mega Millions got into the spirit with a visit from the {2-2-1-1} Pattern and an entourage of repeating Three-Number Combinations! The end result was a jackpot that grew to $45 million.
