Connections answer today

Here is the answer to today's Connections puzzle on Monday, 10th August:

• 🟨 Yellow: Haphazardly (Any Old How, At Random, Helter-Skelter, Willy-Nilly)
• 🟩 Green: Ways to Receive Event Tickets (Mail Delivery, Mobile Ticket, Print-at-Home, Will Call)
• 🟦 Blue: Sections on an Invoice (Balance Due, Bill To, Order Number, Unit Price)

Do my eyes decieve me or was the purple group one of the easiest ones today? What a strange turn of events! That doesn't mean the puzzle was easy, though. I'm looking at you 'Will Call'. I thought that was someone's name for far longer than I'd like to admit.
