Mega Millions’ {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern Double Boost

November 15th meant three things:

This year, November 15th fell on a Tuesday, and with no other lotteries around, Mega Millions could spread out and shoot upward! Thanks to a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore, the jackpot grew to $238 million.

Is the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern coming back Friday night, and will it boost the Mega Millions jackpot even higher?

Mega Millions: (Current) King of Lotteries

Once, there was a lottery with a massive jackpot. People far and wide shot their shot, hoping that fortune would smile on them, and they would be granted the financial freedom many covet. Earlier this week, a lone player gained that fortune. As that lottery was dethroned, another took the crown.

As of the November 11, 2022 drawing, Mega Millions retained its high jackpot. With none of the players able to match the six numbers, the prize grew to $207 million.

Mega Millions has been surprisingly level-headed, all things considered. No grandstanding, just quietly raising the jackpot. Is polish and poise the way to go for November, or is this lottery just waiting to go nuts?

Interesting how Mega Millions has taken to more measured approaches! Inquiring minds want to know: How long will that last?

Saintly Mega Millions

November 1st is All Saints’ Day. Primarily celebrated by Catholics, it commemorates all the saints of the church, both known and unknown. “Saintly” isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when one sees or hears “Mega Millions”. This lottery is notorious for all kinds of chicanery, not to mention the controversial nature of lotteries themselves. After all the excitement and fun of scary movies, haunted hayrides and candy binges, many people want to take it easy. So do lotteries.

Mega Millions didn’t start November with a bang, opting to go for a more dignified approach. This paid off, for the jackpot grew to $110 million.

The November 1, 2022 Mega Millions drawing featured the 49th appearance of the {3-2-1} Pattern, with winning numbers 5, 9, 15, 16, 17 and MB 25.

Will Mega Millions take another measured approach Friday night?

Mega Millions Has a Monster of its Own

A monster is loose in the lottery world. A jackpot of mind-boggling size has become too big to ignore. Thousands, millions even, are ready to take a chance and bring this beast to heel. As players aim for that monstrous near-billion-dollar Powerball jackpot, a good-sized jackpot is lurking in Mega Millions. A smaller jackpot should be easier to capture, yes?

If only it were that simple! Mega Millions, with semi-fresh memories of having its beast of a jackpot brought down to size, wasn’t determined to be taken down again so soon. Through careful planning, the Mega Millions jackpot grew to a hearty $87 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Mega Millions’ plan to grow the jackpot involved the use of an Australia Play. With winning numbers 4, 18, 31, 53, 69 and MB 7, the {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern, [1-1-1-1-1-1] General Order, and 1 1 1 1 1 1 Specific Order have played 24 times.

Mega Millions won’t be part of Halloween proper, that honor goes to Lotto Texas and Powerball, but this lottery will kick off November. Is another Australia Play in the cards, or will Mega Millions use another strategy?

The Mega Millions Tuesday Night Triple

As October winds down and the World Series is about to kick off (Go ‘stros!), Mega Millions saw a triple Tuesday night. By “triple”, we mean a repeating Three-Number Combination that played thrice! That’s fancy talk for “three times”. As the triple offender of a Combination hitched its star to Mega Millions, the jackpot climbed to $64 million.
