Mega Millions jackpot goes up again; closing in on 1 Billion

Holy Mega Millions! After nearly 30 consecutive drawings without a winner, the Mega Millions jackpot was already a hefty $790 million. But Monday afternoon, the jackpot up for grabs during Tuesday night"s drawing inched closer to breaking the billion dollar mark: $810 million, or $470.1 million if the winner chooses the cash option. It"s the third largest jackpot prize in the game"s history. Only two billion-dollar jackpots have ever been higher for Mega Millions.
