No tickets have matched all the Mega Millions winning numbers for months.
Lottery officials on Monday raised the Mega Millions grand prize to $810 million, giving players a shot at what would be one of the nation's largest jackpots.The next drawing is on Tuesday. The jackpot has grown so large because there hasn't been a winner in three months. Those 28 consecutive drawings without anyone matching all six numbers has allowed the jackpot to gradually grow from its $20 million starting point in April.
The highlighted pre-tax $810 million prize is for a winner who takes an annuity option, paid out in 30 annual payments. Most players choose the cash option, which, for Tuesday's drawing, would be $470.1 million. RELATED: Mega Millions winning numbers drawing yields $1M winner in Illinois; lottery jackpot at $480M
