Last week was a wild one for Mega Millions. From having four repeating Three-Number Combinations to having a similar spread, one wouldn’t blame this lottery for taking it easy. In fact, this past Tuesday was the first time in a while where there were no repeating Three-Number Combinations. Friday night was more active but still a long way from what we saw last week. That didn’t stop the jackpot from rising to $148 million, though!
