No big winner in the Mega Millions drawing on Friday night. That means this monster jackpot keeps growing. It will now be worth $790 million for the Tuesday night drawing. The lump sum one time payout for this huge prize would be $464 million. I do expect these numbers to continue to grow over the next three days.
This is now the 4th largest lottery jackpot ever in the United States.
