Mega Millions’ Climbing Instinct

Animals, and that includes humans, have a little something called “instinct”. What separates humans from the other animals is that we can choose how to respond to our instincts (for the most part). And what of lotteries? Their instinct is to climb back up once they’re inevitably knocked down. The height to which they climb varies, but climb they do.

Mega Millions was no exception July 28, 2020. The penultimate drawing of the month was the beginning of yet another climb cycle. With no one selecting the six winning numbers, the jackpot rose to $22 million.

General Lottery Analysis

A cosmic shift came in the form of playing the {3-2-1} Pattern. With winning numbers 17, 20, 27, 31, 34 and MB 19, this Pattern played for the 29th time.

This Specific Order has also played in 6.90% of the 29 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.34% of all 588 drawings.

The {3-2-1} Pattern isn’t commonly seen in Mega Millions. Still, with the last drawing of the month happening this Friday, going big wouldn’t be out of the question. What better way to end July than with a {3-2-1} Pattern encore? We’ll have to wait and see!

Joisey Millions

Mega Millions sizzled and then saw a big cool down. How you ask? The jackpot, once standing tall at $124 million, was brought down to size by a player in New Jersey. And wouldn’t you know it? A {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak and a [1-2-1-1-1] General Order encore joined forces to make the win possible! As is the nature of such things, the jackpot reset to $20 million. In this strange new world, Lotto Texas currently has a larger jackpot than Mega Millions.

Even though the Mega Millions jackpot has reset, there’s the matter of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak! Will it continue into next week, and will the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order see a three-peat?

Embracing the Heat with a Pattern Three-peat

It’s the heart of summer and, like the heat, Mega Millions doesn’t look to be cooling down anytime soon! One reason for the lottery heatwave is a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat. The other? A boost in the jackpot to $124 million, which of course said three-peat had a hand in.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat of July 21, 2020 was due to winning numbers 14, 25, 26, 41, 43 and MB 15. This Pattern has now played 255 times.

Three-Number Combinations

It was too hot outside to even bother with repeating Three-Number Combinations, so goes Mega Millions’ logic.

Is a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat in the cards, and will it boost the jackpot even higher?

Over the $100 Million Hump

After getting knocked down last month, it didn’t take long for the Mega Millions jackpot to dust itself off and climb up again! With no one able to pick the six winning numbers, the prize made it just over the $100 million mark. To be more specific, the prize jumped to $101 million.

The Holiday Weekend Pattern Carryover

Another Fourth of July weekend has come and gone. The spectre of “Back to School” is peeking from around the corner and in a haunting twist of events, kids, parents, and teachers alike are looking for an alternative means of appeasing that spirit. While the youngsters can blot out those thoughts with movies and Minecraft, it’s not that simple for adults. They’re the ones who buy the supplies and pay the tuition, after all. They must also assess whether it’s truly safe to send their younglings off to a brick-and-mortar building or try their hands at online school (again). However, there is one thing the adults can do: they can win big money, and they don’t need to travel to Las Vegas to do it!

Mega Millions could have made at least one person richer than they’ve ever dreamed. That money could have been used to hire a tutor or two or be enough to retire and teach the kids themselves. Much like the stifling Texas heat, Mega Millions taunted the players and went up some more. The jackpot climbed to $83 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The jackpot hike of July 7, 2020 was thanks to a {3-1-1-1} Pattern encore. This Pattern made its 110th appearance with winning numbers 16, 20, 25, 30, 43 and MB 18.

73 Million Firecrackers

Happy Fourth of July to our U.S. readers! Given the madness plaguing our country (no pun intended), stay safe out there.

No Fourth of July celebration is complete without pyrotechnics! Whether you’re watching a show someone else is putting on, or you’re setting them off on your street, there’s nothing like watching the sky light up with the wonders of fireworks. If no fireworks are available, then firecrackers are just as amazing; just remember not to hold them once lit! But why wait until the holiday when you can get a head start the day before?

Mega Millions thought July 3rd was just as good a night as any to set off firecrackers. This threw the players off guard, letting the lottery boost its jackpot once again. With no one able to pick all six wining numbers, the jackpot rose to $73 million.
