T-R-O-L-L Spells “{2-1-1-1-1}”

Of all the times to show up!

Would you believe that the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern decided to appear in the June 4, 2019 drawing? Forget ending May with a three-peat, it thought. I’ll start June off with a bang!

And that it did. This Pattern was also responsible for the grand prize remaining unreachable for our players. After Tuesday’s drawing, the jackpot stands tall at $530 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Winning numbers 25, 37, 46, 48, 68, and MB 25 made the 205th appearance of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern possible.

The month has just begun, and anything is possible. As we head into Friday, we may be looking at another Pattern encore. On the other hand, we may be writing about someone walking away at least half a billion dollars richer!

Through the Clouds and Into June

May 31, 2019 was more than just the last day of May. This year, it had the honor of hosting the last Mega Millions drawing of the month. What with it being the last day and all, someone claiming the prize or even a {2-1-1-1-1} three-peat would’ve been exciting ways to end the month with a bang. Of course, Mega Millions thought those were too predictable.

Let’s spice things up, it thought.

Let’s break through the clouds and start June with a massive $475 million jackpot!

Oh, and that {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat? Didn’t happen.

General Lottery Analysis

In lieu of a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat, Mega Millions threw at us the {2-2-1-1} Pattern. With winning numbers 7, 8, 26, 65, 67, and MB 4, this Pattern made its 133rd appearance.

Prior to Friday night, both the [2-1-2-1] General Order and the 2 1 0 0 2 1 Specific Order played March 29, 2019.

Three-Number Combination(s)

As if the crazy-large jackpot weren’t enough, there was a lone repeating Three-Number Combination!

This Combination made its debut in the June 16, 2015 drawing.

The prize in Mega Millions will not go down easily! Tuesday night could be the night that the players bring the beast back down to size or become witness to another growth spurt. With {2-1-2-1} being the second-most common Pattern, could an encore also be in the cards?

The Monster Is Due on Mega Millions

For those of you who watched the original Twilight Zone, chances are you’ve seen the classic episode “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street”. To those who haven’t, or don’t remember it, here’s a brief, spoiler-ish summary: Strange things happened on the titular street and neighbor turned against neighbor, accusing each other of being aliens. Stranger still is that there were aliens, and they were manipulating the residents. All part of a test round for their invasion of Earth.

A fuller (better) summary can be found here.

Now, there isn’t any nefarious plot to take over the world with lottery (that we know of), but something otherworldly has taken hold in Mega Millions. In fact, we can say that it’s monstrous! The beast got another hold of life thanks to a “double encore” that took place in the May 28th drawing. Mild spoiler: the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made an encore. Its encore buddy will be revealed later in this post. The duo powered up and gave the prize another growth spurt, leaving it at a staggering $444 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore was made possible by winning numbers 9, 21, 34, 42, 50, and MB 21. This Pattern has now played 204 times.

Of the 466 Mega Millions drawings to date, this Pattern has played in 43.8% of them.

Accompanying the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern on this encore train was the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order. With its 54th appearance, this General Order has now played in 26.5% of the 204 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. This General Order has also played in 11.6% of all 466 drawings.

Both the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern and the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order were last seen May 24th, 2019.

Now with eleven appearances, the 1 1 2 1 0 1 Specific Order has played in 20.4% of the 54 drawings where the General Order was [1-1-2-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 5.39% of the 204 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 2.36% of all 466 drawings. Prior to Tuesday night, the 1 1 2 1 0 1 Specific Order played February 8th, 2019.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Of course, a “double encore” wasn’t all that came in the package. There were also two repeating Three-Number Combinations!

  • 9, 42, 50 (Debuted March 3rd, 2015)

The beast lives to rampage through another Mega Millions drawing. With Friday being the last drawing for the month, we wait with baited breath, wondering if the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern ends with a three-peat and/or if the prize is won.

Mega Millions’ Change of Plans?

Maybe it was due to the long holiday weekend. Perhaps it was because Mega Millions wanted the beastly jackpot to continue its rampage for a bit longer. Whatever the reason, the idea of a {3-1-1-1} Pattern encore got tossed in the trash for the May 24, 2019 drawing. Besides, making the prize rise to $418 million is more fun, for Mega Millions at least. A look at the analysis for Friday night will shed some light on why.

General Lottery Analysis

This lottery took back the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, and given the history between the two, it wasn’t all that surprising. With winning numbers 14, 41, 44, 56, 62, and MB 10, this Pattern has now played 203 times.

Such a prima donna, that Pattern! Source: lotterytrend-megamillions.com.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Of course, with a repeating Four-Number Combination, you’re going to have four repeating Three-Number Combinations nestled inside:

  • 41, 44, 56
  • 41, 44, MB 10
  • 41. 56, MB 10
  • 44, 56, MB 10

All these Combinations debuted in the earlier-mentioned August 12, 2016 drawing. These weren’t the only Combinations of the night, not by a long shot!

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern may have returned this past Friday night, but if it has dreams of finishing out the month, the best it can do is a three-peat. May looks to have a blockbuster finish, regardless. Still, inquiring minds want to know: Will the jackpot hit a ceiling next week or will it burst through into June?

Mega Millions Feeds the Beast

What a difference a night makes! This past Friday saw the return of Mega Millions’ most common Pattern. One would think that as we get closer to the end of the month (and the school year) a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern would be the perfect send-off. No better way to start off summer, right?

A {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak lasting through the end of May would have made a fine transition. Except, Mega Millions had other plans, plans involving a beastly jackpot. The aftermath of the May 21, 2019 drawing was a beast that now looms over the players at an impressive $393 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {3-1-1-1} Pattern made its 88th appearance with winning numbers 10, 50, 55, 56, 58, and MB 15.

The [1-3-1-1] General Order, now with 31 appearances, has played in 35.2% of the 88 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. This General Order has also played in 6.68% of all 464 drawings. Prior to Tuesday night, the [1-3-1-1] General Order played December 4, 2018.

Now with three appearances, the 1 0 0 3 1 1 Specific Order has played in 9.68% of the 31 drawings where the General Order was [1-3-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 3.41% of the 88 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 464 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 0.65% of the time. We last saw the 1 0 0 3 1 1 Specific Order October 21, 2016. This was reconfigured from the 1 0 2 1 1 1 Specific Order seen that night.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Repeating Three-Number Combinations fans rejoice! There were two this time around, one of which had played twice before!

More than making up for Tuesday night! Source: lotterytrend-megamillions.com.

Note the dates the second repeating Three-Number Combination played. It’s not often that a Combination will play again a year right after it debuts!

A holiday weekend is coming up Stateside and there’s a monster jackpot up for grabs. Will the beast grow once more Friday night, or will someone take it down?

In the Shadow of $367 Million

Longer days and rising temperatures mean beach parties, a dip in the pool, frozen treats (lime snow cones, anyone?), and a nice cold one, or at least daydreaming about them! Summer continued to make its march while Mega Millions took a breather. Many of this month’s drawings have been the dreams of repeating Three-Number Combination lovers. They may find the results of May 17th, 2019 a bit of a downer. The $367 million prize awaiting Tuesday’s players turned the heat up, true, but it’s the Pattern within that brought the cooldown.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern reigned supreme with winning numbers 5, 17, 28, 32, 63, and MB 11. This Pattern has now played 202 times.

Prior to Friday night, the 1 2 1 0 1 1 Specific Order played April 12th, 2019.

Three-Number Combination(s)

For all you fans of repeating Three-Number Combinations, I’m sorry to say that there weren’t any. Perhaps next time?

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern is fond of encores, so that’s something we’ll have to keep an eye on for Tuesday’s drawing. Encore or no, it remains to be seen if that gargantuan prize will grow once more or be claimed by at least one spunky player.

The 4-1-1 on 5/14

The days are getting longer and hotter, the countdown to summer has begun, and Mega Millions wants in! How do you think a lottery could mark the (near) halfway point of May?

  1. A Pattern streak
  2. A monstrously large jackpot
  3. An uncommon Pattern

On May 14, 2019, Mega Millions took a bit from (b) and a bit from (c). The uncommon Pattern threw players for a loop once again. The grand prize going into Friday night will be $339 million! Mild spoiler: This was the work of the {4-1-1} Pattern.

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 11, 59, 66, 67, 68, and MB 18, the {4-1-1} Pattern made its 11th appearance.

Tuesday night was also the night that the 1 0 0 0 4 1 Specific Order made its debut in Mega Millions! With that said, this Specific Order has now played in 20% of the five drawings where the General Order was [1-4-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 9.09% of the 11 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern.

As we keep pushing through May, will Mega Millions continue to turn up the heat?

Mega Millions’ Playback Comeback

Before we get to today’s Mega Millions analysis, I want to once again thank Romulun Harris for filling in while I was away in Tulsa for business. If you’re in Tulsa, and you like ramen/Asian fusion, be sure to check out Yokozuna. The pork belly ramen is amazing!

I wasn’t the only one who returned May 10, 2019. Mega Millions received a visit from a Pattern that made an appearance sometime last week. That Pattern had a hand in thwarting players once again, and the grand prize rose to an astounding $316 million!

But, the Pattern can’t take all the credit; it most certainly did not act alone.

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 3, 16, 21, 61, 62, and MB 19, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 132nd appearance.

Of the 461 Mega Millions drawings so far, this Pattern has played 28.6% of the time.

The [1-2-2-1] General Order, now with 46 appearances, has played in 34.8% of the 132 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 461 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Pattern has played 9.98% of the time.

Now with five appearances, the 1 2 0 0 2 1 Specific Order has played in 10.9% of the 46 drawings where the General Order was [1-2-2-1]. This Specific Order has also played in roughly 3.79% of the 132 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.08% of all 461 drawings.

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern, [1-2-2-1] General Order, and the 1 2 0 0 2 1 Specific Order showed up together on May 3, 2019. Indeed, ‘twas a playback responsible for the prize rise!

Three-Number Combination(s)

The playback didn’t come alone. There were four repeating Three-Number Combinations!

  • 3, 16, 61 (Debuted September 30, 2014)
  • 16, 61, 62 (Debuted October 10, 2017)
  • 21, 61, 62 (Debuted September 29, 2015)
  • 3, 61, 62 (Debuted November 14, 2014)
A good night for repeating Three-Number Combinations! Source: lotterytrend-megamillions.com.

Perhaps Tuesday night will see a {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore, or perhaps we’ll see that monster of a jackpot rise again. One thing that’s certain is that we won’t know what’s in that Mega Millions box until we open it. The most important takeaway for a lottery is that anything is possible!
