The Mega Millions jackpot has soared above $1 billion ahead of Tuesday night's drawing.
The estimated top prize is $1.1 billion. That figure would be the fourth-largest Mega Millions jackpot ever and the sixth-largest in U.S. lotto history when also factoring in Powerball jackpots.
The estimated cash payout of the Mega Millions jackpot is $550.2 million.
The jackpot has been building since April. There have been no Mega Millions jackpot winners in 29 consecutive drawings, since the grand prize was last won on April 18.
