Mega Millions Spreads Out

Some spreads are nicer than others. Bedspreads add a layer of finesse to freshly made beds. Jellies and jams can help mask the toast that got burnt (again). Mega Millions has no need for beds or strawberry jam, but it does like spreads. All while this lottery engages in its love-hate relationship with the players, a similar spread does pop up once in a while. August 17, 2021 was one of those “once in a while” occasions. That and a playback cut short pushed the jackpot to $256 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 301st appearance with winning numbers 3, 6, 16, 38, 56 and MB 24.

That night, the winning numbers were 12, 34, 44, 47, 65 and MB 22; the spread was 22:10:03:18. The differences between the numbers played on both nights were the same but remember, their orders were different.

Three-Number Combinations

Mega Millions decided to throw in four repeating Three-Number Combinations for good measure:

Mega Millions’ Tuesday Night Bummer

Summer is just about over. The kids are heading back to school and your commute to work has gotten longer. Wouldn’t it be nice to forgo the commute or even better, not have to work at all? The freedom, the escapism that summer offers, all that could be available full-time by winning a lottery. The bigger the prize, the better, right?!

Mega Millions got the better of everyone Tuesday night. Anyone who was hoping for an Australia Play encore was sure to be disappointed. Of course, another shot at the jackpot meant a larger prize to be won! In response to no one winning the grand prize, said prize grew to $225 million.

Dashing Over the $200 Million Line

August 6, 2021 was the start to a bittersweet weekend for many. The Olympic Games in Tokyo entered the home stretch, and parents across the U.S. started engaging in the annual ritual that is “Back to School” shopping. In some places, school has already started back up. As people dashed on the field and through the stores, Mega Millions dashed over the $200 million line!

General Lottery Analysis

By the power of an Australia Play, the Mega Millions jackpot jumped to $208 million. With winning numbers 9, 18, 40, 46, 69 and MB 9, the {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern, [1-1-1-1-1-1] General Order, and the 1 1 1 1 1 1 Specific Order made their 22nd appearance.

A Different Game Plan

Things looked promising for Mega Millions. After three repeat appearances from the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, this lottery was poised and ready for a Pattern streak. An Olympic streak of this nature isn’t unprecedented.

The night of August 3, 2021 was the end. Mega Millions couldn’t grab a hold of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern and with it, the hopes for a Pattern streak came falling down. This of course led to another Pattern getting a shot at creating a streak of its own. As Mega Millions grabbed hold of another Pattern, it also tried for a playback and saw its jackpot rise to $191 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 189th appearance with 1, 9, 17, 27, 34 and MB 24.

This Pattern has now played in 27.2% of the 694 Mega Millions drawings.

The [2-2-1-1] General Order, now with 65 appearances, has played in 34.4% of the 189 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 694 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 9.37% of the time.

Both the {2-2-1-1} Pattern and the [2-2-1-1] General Order played July 16, 2021.

With that said, a playback wasn’t favored. The 2 2 1 0 0 1 Specific Order made its first appearance since January 12, 2021. Now with eight appearances, this Specific Order has played in 12.3% of the 65 drawings where the General Order was [2-2-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 4.23% of the 189 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.15% of all 694 drawings.

Three-Number Combinations

Dreams of a Pattern streak and a playback were deferred, but there was enough room for a trio of repeating Three-Number Combinations:

Now with the {2-2-1-1} Pattern taking up the reins, will it go on to make an encore Friday night?

Mega Millions’ Pattern Persistence

“Persistence is key!”

“Perfect practice makes perfect!”

Whether it’s training for a track meet or simply taking up a new hobby, we’ve all heard the above phrases at one time or another. After all, you won’t see much improvement without consistency and practicing techniques correctly.

Mega Millions may not have mastered the art of “perfect practice”, but it has a way with persistence! Some Patterns have a way of showing up more often than others, and the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern fit the bill Friday night. This Pattern returned once more for the July 30, 2021 drawing and with it came another boost to the jackpot, blazing ahead to $179 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat was thanks to 19, 26, 31, 52, 68 and MB 10. What makes this three-peat special is that the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has now played 300 times!

Prior to Friday night, both the [2-1-1-1-1] General Order and the 0 2 1 1 1 1 Specific Order played June 25, 2021.

Mega Millions was in the grip of a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak the last time the Summer Olympics were taking place. Then, the Pattern played six times in a row. Is Mega Millions setting itself up to break this record in the drawings ahead?

The Great Double Comeback

Special thanks to guest blogger Romulun Harris for filling in on short notice!

We’ll cut right to the chase: The July 27, 2021 Mega Millions drawing produced a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore. That in and of itself wasn’t too out of the ordinary. What made this encore noteworthy was that the Pattern didn’t go it alone. No, there wasn’t a playback, but a General Order, [1-2-1-1-1] in this case, joined in on the encore frenzy. No records were shattered, but the Pattern and General Order gave it their all and pushed the jackpot to $166 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore was made possible by 2, 35, 36, 54, 64 and MB 11. This Pattern has now played 299 times.

Mega Millions’ Weekend Opening Ceremony

After having been delayed for a year, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics kicked off July 23, 2021. Even without a massive gathering of spectators, the opening ceremony was still a sight to behold. The event appeared low-key on the surface, but under the surface was energy and quirkiness.

Mega Millions took a similar approach Friday night. Although the drawing didn’t come with an Australia Play encore, the jackpot rose all the same! More specifically, it rose to $153 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 298th appearance with 13, 17, 19, 40, 69 and MB 17.

Meditating Mega Millions

With all the chaos and confusion that has gripped the world, especially for the past year-and-a-half, one thing still manages to hold strong. The Tokyo Olympics will officially start Friday, even with thousands (more like millions) calling for the ordeal to be cancelled altogether. That Virus is still raging, and with the absence of massive crowds of spectators, not to mentions athletes falling ill, this grand sporting event just won’t be the same this year.

Mega Millions had a knack for reading the room Tuesday night. A {2-2-1-1} Pattern three-peat wasn’t featured. Instead, Mega Millions took the time to reflect on a different Pattern. This lottery not only boosted its inner well-being, but its jackpot. The prize grew to $138 million.

Mega Millions’ Matter of Repetition

Some things bear repeating. It’s how we as humans tend to remember everything from our times tables to annoying advertisements.

Repetition in the lottery world, in its most basic form, is a Pattern encore. Sometimes that’s as far as it goes, but the potential for a Pattern streak is always there. Now, it’s premature to say that the {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore of July 16, 2021 will lead up to a Pattern streak, but it did help propel the Mega Millions jackpot to $128 million.

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 24, 25, 47, 52, 57 and MB 24, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 188th appearance.

Once all 689 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 9.29% of the time.
