The Ever-Persistent Pattern

After appearing four times in a row, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has stepped aside. Lately, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern doesn’t like to go for long periods without having played. Whether it’s going to go for yet another streak is to be determined. What can be said about the August 8^th drawing is that this instance of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern was accompanied by three repeating Three-Number Combinations.

With winning numbers 11, 17, 50, 52, 74, and MB 14, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 166^th appearance.

As of Tuesday night, this Pattern has played in 41.8% of the 397 Mega Millions drawings. This Pattern was last seen in the July 21^st, 2017 drawing.

Making its 38^th appearance, the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order has played in 22.9% of the 166 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has played, and in 9.57% of all 397 drawings. Prior to Tuesday, this General Order played in the Fourth of July drawing.

Now with five appearances, the 1 1 0 2 1 1 Specific Order has played in 13.2% of the 38 drawings where the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 3.01% of the 166 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.26% of all 397 drawings. The 1 1 0 2 1 1 Specific Order previously played over a year ago in the May 10^th, 2016 drawing.

And now, for the repeating Three-Number Combinations of the evening:

11, 17, 50 (Debuted June 30^th, 2015)
11, 17, 74 (Debuted May 15^th, 2015)

Will the {2-1-1-1-1} be bold enough to go for an encore appearance Friday night, or will another Pattern play instead?

Looking ahead to next week, will the {2-2-1-1} Pattern go for a record of its own, or will another Pattern smash the streak?

No Playin’ Possum Here

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern streak held! Instead of ceding ground to other Patterns, this one made its third consecutive appearance in Tuesday’s Mega Millions. Did you also know that you could start the month off by catching opossums in your backyard? You’ll find out how, and why, after this analysis.

The winning numbers for August 1^st were 20, 22, 52, 57, 73, and MB 7, bringing the number of appearances of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern to 117.

This Pattern has now played in 29.6% of the 395 drawings to date.

With 43 appearances, the [2-2-1-1] General Order has played in 36.8% of the 117 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This General Order has also played in 10.9% of all 395 drawings. Prior to Tuesday, this General Order was last seen in the May 2^nd, 2017 drawing.

This Specific Order has also played in 1.01% of all 395 drawings, and was last seen in the December 15^th, 2015 drawing.

There were no repeating Three-Number Combinations this time around.

Remember last month’s endorsement of homegrown corn? Well, we would’ve endorsed homegrown cantaloupes except for one little problem.

Possums! Apparently, they love the smell, and taste, of sweet melons. They made a feast out of my dad’s cantaloupes, thus taking advantage of his hospitality.

We here at Lottery Binge don’t believe in, or endorse, the mindless killing of our animal brethren, so we set some humane traps.

This one was calmer, probably because she just didn’t know.

Bigger, meaner, uglier. This one was caught a day after the smaller one.

This one here, she seemed to know what was up. Just one nudge of the cage, heck, even closing the back door, sent her hissing!

No, we didn’t eat them. Instead, they were released into a park away—far away—from the house.

As anyone who has dealt with possums would know, these guys and gals can climb. A fence can only deter so much. If you don’t have a dog, or heck, even a cat, the next best thing is a humane trap. Once you’ve caught the bugger, drive around before releasing him or her back into the wild.

Will the {2-2-1-1} Pattern go for a fourth consecutive appearance, or will another Pattern grab the spotlight?

The New Streak in Town?

July was the month of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern in Mega Millions. This Pattern reigned supreme, having two instances where it appeared at least four times in a row. To commemorate the end of the month, for Mega Millions at least, one Pattern decided to shake things up Friday night. Instead of serving as a “stop gap” for the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern’s streaks, it may be gearing up to start a streak of its own.

Right off the heels of Tuesday night, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern made another appearance in the July 28, 2017 drawing. With winning numbers 4, 6, 31, 49, 52, and MB 11, this Pattern made its 116^th appearance.

This Pattern has played in 29.4% of the 394 Mega Millions drawings.

Making its 41^st appearance, the [2-1-2-1] General Order has played in 35.3% of the 116 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 10.4% of all drawings. This General Order was seen alongside the {2-2-1-1} Pattern in this past Tuesday’s drawing.

Now with six appearances, the 2 0 1 2 0 1 Specific Order has played in 14.6% of the 41 drawings where the [2-1-2-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 5.17% of the 116 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.52% of all 394 drawings. Prior to Friday night, this Specific Order was last seen in the January 6, 2017 drawing.

There were also two repeating Three-Number Combinations.

It’s not often that the debut dates for repeating Three-Number Combinations are separated by exactly one week!

Will the {2-2-1-1} Pattern start August with a third consecutive appearance?

A Change of Pace

Time flies! It’s hard to believe, but July is almost over. With beach balls soon to be exchanged with backpacks, Mega Millions decided to switch things up again in the July 25, 2017 drawing. After four consecutive appearances of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, one wouldn’t be at fault for thinking the Pattern would show up again. After all, Lottery Binge has covered at least one scenario where this Pattern has played five times in a row. Alas, that was not to be. Another Pattern appeared, and there was also a repeating Three-Number Combination.

The winning numbers on Tuesday night were 2, 5, 26, 58, 60, and MB 6, bringing the number of appearances of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern to 115.

This Pattern has played in 29.3% of the 393 Mega Millions drawings, and was last seen in the June 9, 2017 drawing.

With 40 appearances, the [2-1-2-1] General Order has played in 34.8% of the 115 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 10.2% of all Mega Millions drawings. Prior to Tuesday night, this General Order had played in the February 10, 2017 drawing.

The Four Lives of {2-1-1-1-1}

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern is a special one indeed. It’s the most commonly seen Pattern in Mega Millions, and it has a penchant for showing up in sets of consecutive appearances. Last summer, this Pattern made a record-breaking six consecutive appearances. Earlier this summer, it looked as if the Pattern was going to tie the record, but there were other plans. Of course, never count anything out! Shortly after this “hiccup”, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern got back up and the July 11^th drawing established a new streak. Friday night saw this Pattern’s fourth consecutive appearance.

The winning numbers in the July 21^st drawing were 18, 31, 36, 50, 74, and MB 10, bringing the number of appearances of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern to 165.

This Pattern has played in 42.1% of the 392 Mega Millions drawings.

Now with eight appearances, the 0 1 2 1 1 1 Specific Order has played in about 17% of the 47 drawings where the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order has appeared, and 4.85% of the 165 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 2.04% of all 392 drawings. Prior to Friday night, this Specific Order was last seen in the April 7^th, 2017 drawing.

This Combination made its debut in the July 11^th drawing. To think that Friday night’s drawing was a reunion, of sorts.

Will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern get a second chance next week to tie the record?

Playing it Cool

Well, don’t that beat all? Earlier this summer, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made five consecutive appearances, and came close to tying the record that was achieved last summer. It looks like the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern is trying to establish a streak again, because it made its third consecutive appearance in the July 18^th drawing.

This Mega Millions post will be another short one, as there were no repeating Three-Number Combinations.

The winning numbers on Tuesday night were 8, 12, 23, 51, 73, and MB 6, bringing the number of appearances of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern up to 164.

Will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern go for a fourth consecutive appearance?

Short and Sweet Encore

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern was feeling bold Friday night. In our last Mega Millions post, we had asked if this Pattern would make an encore, and sure enough, it did. There was a bit of a change-up, though. Unlike what happened in the July 11^th drawing, there were no repeating Three-Number Combinations.

July 14^th’s winning numbers were 11, 12, 24, 32, 73, and MB 1.

Now with 163 appearances, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has played in 41.8% of the 390 Mega Millions drawings.

Will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern go for a three-peat in Tuesday’s drawing, or does Mega Millions have another surprise up its sleeve?

Guess Who Decided to Show Up?

Well, isn’t this something!? After not showing up in the July 7^th Mega Millions drawing, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern appeared Tuesday night.

If it had made an appearance in both Friday night and Tuesday night’s drawings, it would’ve shattered the record for most consecutive appearances of a Pattern. At least, as far as Lottery Binge’s Mega Millions coverage is concerned. Perhaps next summer, {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. Perhaps next summer.

With that said, the winning numbers for the July 11^th drawing were 7, 18, 24, 55, 74, and MB 10.

Will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern dare to start up another streak right after breaking the last one, or will another Pattern play?

The Streak is Gone

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern didn’t go for a sixth consecutive appearance in the July 7, 2017 drawing. If it had, then it would have tied the record set last summer. What a firework show that would have been! Nevertheless, Friday night’s drawing provided its own fireworks. Although a less common Pattern played, there was more bubbling underneath the surface.

The winning numbers were 2, 9, 11, 28, 60, and MB 10, bringing the total number of appearances of the {3-1-1-1} Pattern to 63.

This Pattern has played in 16.2% of the 388 Mega Millions drawings, and was last seen in the June 13, 2017 drawing.

Making its 22^nd appearance, the [3-1-1-1] General Order has played in 34.9% of the 63 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 5.67% of all 388 drawings. Prior to Friday night, this General Order was last seen in the May 26, 2017 drawing.

Now with two appearances, the 3 1 0 1 0 1 Specific Order has played in approximately 9.09% of the 22 drawings where the [3-1-1-1] General Order has appeared, and in 3.17% of the 63 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 0.52% of all 388 drawings. The 3 1 0 1 0 1 Specific Order made its debut in the May 22, 2015 drawing.

Seeing a Specific Order that hadn’t played in over two years wasn’t the only big draw of the evening.

Friday night’s winning numbers share a similar spread with the May 23, 2014 drawing. That drawing’s winning numbers were 12, 14, 21, 38, 70, and MB 15, with a spread of 02:07:17:32. The spread from Friday night was 07:02:17:32. Note that while the difference between numbers was the same in both drawings, the order was different.

Another big draw was the repeat appearances of two Three-Number Combinations. The Combinations were

2, 9, 11 (Debuted June 2, 2015)
11, 60, MB 10 (Debuted March 17, 2017)

Will the {3-1-1-1} Pattern make an encore appearance Tuesday? Will there be another similar spread next week?
