Mega Millions and the Thirteen Tales of {1-1-1-1-1-1}

There are few things that seem to thrive in scorching heat. Red kangaroos are one. Camels are another. These creatures make themselves at home in arid regions like the Outback.

On July 9, 2019, Mega Millions broke the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak and embraced the sweltering heat of an Australia Play! Granted, it’s winter in the actual Land Down Under, but lotteries, paying no heed to mortal things like climate, like to shake things up from time to time. With that maneuver came the hopping away of the grand prize; it leapt up to $121 million.

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 12, 26, 40, 48, 64, and MB 1, 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 13th appearance together.

Of the 478 Mega Millions drawings, the Australia Play has happened 2.73% of the time. Prior to Tuesday night, an Australia Play was spotted in the April 23, 2019 drawing.

Three-Number Combination(s)

While bounding away, the Australia Play didn’t leave any repeating Three-Number Combinations behind.

Given how rare Australia Plays are, it’s not likely that we’ll see an encore Friday. Still, it’s early yet in the month. There’s plenty of time for other Patterns to get into the streak game. Maybe the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern will try to create another streak, or perhaps another Pattern will carry that torch?

A Night at the Five-Peat Pattern Resort

Once the fireworks have gone off and the last of the barbeque has been packed away (figuratively and literally), it’s nice to lie back and relax. Gotta rest up for the ride back home and be ready for Monday, right?

Mega Millions said, “Forget that!”

The July 5, 2019 drawing saw, appropriately enough, a “five-peat” for the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern! This was also responsible for keeping the grand prize out of the players’ grasp. The result was a jackpot that rose to $107 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The Pattern streak continued for the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern with winning numbers 6, 38, 47, 57, 63, and MB 12. This Pattern has now played 212 times.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Although Mega Millions went in guns a blazing with the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, it still needed to rest up some. There were no repeating Three-Number Combinations.

July doesn’t hold back on the heat, and neither does Mega Millions! Be it a large jackpot or a Pattern streak, things are going to get hot very soon. Will the momentum of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak continue into next week?

A Date with “28”

Mega Millions kicked off the second half of the year with a fireworks show of its own! The July 2, 2019 drawing saw a Pattern streak taking root and it’s possible that a General Order streak may be in the works. There was also an unusual fondness for the number “28”. All these elements came together to help push the jackpot upwards to $95 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The momentum of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern continued with a four-peat! This time, the winning numbers were 3, 25, 37, 40, 55, and MB 13. The Pattern has now played 211 times.

Will the Pattern streak hold and could the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order get a streak going in Friday’s drawing?

The End-of-June Three-peat Special

From a jackpot high to a three-peat, Mega Millions saw a lot of range this month! With June 28th being the last drawing for the month, this lottery wanted to head into July on a high note. Not only did Friday feature a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat, it made nice with repeating Three-Number Combinations. And, with no grand prize winners, the jackpot climbed to $83 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat was made possible by winning numbers 2, 35, 49, 53, 63, and MB 1. This Pattern has now played 210 times.

Mega Millions will head into July with a Pattern streak and a robust jackpot. Will it start the month with a firework show of its own or will it sputter?

Mega Millions and the Encore Blast

Can you believe we’re almost halfway through the year? This past Friday, we welcomed the start of a new season. On June 25, 2019, there were a couple of things that carried over. One was taking it easy on the repeating Three-Number Combinations. The other was a Pattern encore and that encore made the prize rise yet again! More specifically, it rose to $71 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Fresh from this past Friday, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 209th appearance. This time, the winning numbers were 24, 33, 45, 47, 61, and MB 17.

Prior to Tuesday night, both the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order and the 0 1 1 2 1 1 Specific Order played June 4, 2019. We were this close to a playback, but a Pattern encore is nothing to look down on!

Three-Number Combination(s)

The Pattern encore was enough for Mega Millions. No repeating Three-Number Combinations this time!

Mega Millions will bid “Adieu!” to June this Friday with a Pattern encore under its belt and $71 million up for grabs. Will the month end with a three-peat or will another Pattern lead the way into July?

The Mega Millions Solstice Cool Down

Happy (belated) Solstice everyone! June 21st was a changing of the guard, season-wise. While Alaskans are playing a midnight baseball game, Kiwis are throwing on their winter coats.

With summer comes heat; if it’s too hot and you exert yourself too hard, you’re going to get exhausted. That’s what happened to Mega Millions Friday night. After the blowout earlier this week, the lottery took it easy and at the same time, prevented a grand prize winner. The jackpot, as a result, rose to $60 million.

Three-Number Combination(s)

As part of the recuperation phase, Mega Millions didn’t partake in any repeating Three-Number Combination shenanigans. Perhaps next time?

There’s approximately one week left in June and the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern came back. Could this Pattern try for a streak to end the month, or was Friday night a precursor for a quiet finale?

The Power of Change

Whether we like it or not, change is one of those things in life that’s inevitable. And yet, the results of change are sometimes not predictable! Take this past Friday’s Mega Millions drawing for example. There was Pattern encore, and given the Pattern that had played, it wouldn’t have been out of sorts to expect a three-peat for June 18, 2019.

That three-peat didn’t come. What did come that night was a jackpot that rose to $55 million and madness amongst the repeating Three-Number Combinations.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern was the one who blocked the three-peat. With winning numbers 12, 14, 22, 24, 48, and MB 21, this Pattern has played 134 times.

Some of these Combinations were seen not too long ago. Who would’ve expected them to show up again so soon?

As in nature, so it is in lottery. Change is inevitable, no matter how small it may seem. The seasons are a changin’ and we’ll be going into Friday night with lots of momentum. We’ll have to wait and see what else changes.

Mellow Mega Millions’ Mega Encore

The date: June 14, 2019. Fridays are special. They’re a gateway to the weekend, and there are various ways to kick off that two-day mini vacation. Many go to a movie or a nice restaurant. Netflix and chilling with the dog is a less expensive, but increasingly popular, alternative.

If Mega Millions had been a part of your weekend kick-off this past Friday, then you knew the agony (and frustration) of defeat. As the lottery continued its recuperation, it made sure that no one could claim the prize just yet. The jackpot rose to $50 million, hardly chump change but nowhere near the monster that was struck down just last week.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern went for the encore with numbers 19, 40, 47, 57, 65, and MB 6. This Pattern has now played 207 times.

Although it’ll be a while yet before another monster jackpot goes on a rampage, Mega Millions has other means of building momentum. One such way is a Pattern streak. These streaks always start off with an encore, then move on to a three-peat, and so on. Given the nature of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, we’ll need to keep an eye out that three-peat or whichever Pattern decides to block it!

A Mega Millions June Chill?

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, “June” and “chill” don’t go together unless frozen treats are involved. The results of Mega Millions’ June 11th drawing can now be added to that list. Sill recuperating from this past Friday, this lottery didn’t go for any grand plays. With no jackpot winner, the prize rose to a hearty $45 million.

California Dreaming with $530 Million

It finally came tumbling down.

After nearly three months of monitoring and analysis, the monster in Mega Millions was stopped, thanks to a player in California. This wasn’t the work of a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore. Instead, another Pattern, and an entourage of repeating Three-Number Combinations, brought the jackpot back down to $40 million.

With the jackpot now won, Mega Millions will be itching to create another monster. However, it’ll be a while yet before we stare down another $200 million+ prize! June is still young and there are other ways to keep the momentum going. We’ll need to watch and see if June comes with its own brand of madness or if Mega Millions decides to take a more “respectable” approach.
