After nearly three months without a winner, the Mega Millions lottery game has climbed to an estimated $654 million jackpot. Unfortunately, even as the big prize for its drawing Tuesday night, Oct. 16, 2018, increases to the fourth-largest in U.S. history , the odds of matching all six numbers and winning the game don't improve. They're stuck at a miserable one in 302.5 million. (AP Photo/Gerry Broome, File)
Mega Millions Jackpot Now $868M, 2nd Largest In US History
The winning Mega Millions numbers drawn Tuesday night were: 3, 45, 49, 61, 69, with Mega Ball 9.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The already-giant Mega Millions prize is now at $868 million after a drawing Tuesday night turned up no winners.
Lottery officials raised the estimated jackpot, which had been $667 million.
The next drawing will be Friday. If someone wins the jackpot, it would mark the second-largest lottery grand prize in U.S. history.
The record lottery jackpot was a $1.6 billion Powerball prize won in January 2016.
Mega Millions is played in 44 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
