Category: 3-1-1-1 pattern

Pattern encores are capricious in nature. They’ve been known to boost lottery jackpots, and they’ve been known to force jackpots to reset. Some Patterns are more prone to repeating than others. After all, Pattern streaks wouldn’t exist otherwise! However, as the title of today’s post indicates, a Pattern repeat did not take place Friday night. And, with Mega Millions’ jackpot growing to $229 million, such an encore wasn’t necessary.

Three-Number Combinations

• 20, 59, 63 (Debuted January 6, 2023)
• 9, 59, 60 (Debuted March 15, 2022)

How will the Mega Millions jackpot fare Tuesday night?

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”

We’ve all heard this saying. A bit cliché, but it drives the point home. When you fall, you got to get back up and give it another go. This saying also applies to a certain lottery that’s been stuck in a rut lately.

After watching the jackpot fall, then rise, and then fall again, Mega Millions was determined to get it rising again. And rise it did! Nothing, and no one, could stop the prize from jumping to $31 million.

Will the Mega Millions jackpot be stuck on the seesaw, or will Tuesday night be the night that the jackpot finally breaks free?

Whoever said Friday the 13^th was unlucky? Sure, it was unlucky for Mega Millions, but who cares what it thinks? That jackpot was stirring up trouble and besides, someone was bound to take it down eventually. For one grand prize winner in Maine, and several million-dollar winners across the land, January 13, 2023 was a most lucky night indeed! Naturally, Mega Millions retreated, and the jackpot reset to $20 million.
