Mega Million Jackpot Nears $1B for Christmas Eve Drawing

UNDATED (WJON News) -- Santa might bring someone a huge present on Christmas eve.

The Mega Millions jackpot has grown to almost a billion dollars. A massive prize currently estimated at $944 million ($429.4 million cash) is on tap for the next drawing on Tuesday.

The jackpot rolled again after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Friday night – the white balls 2, 20, 51, 56 and 67, plus the gold Mega Ball 19.
If won at that level, it would be the largest prize ever won in December and the seventh largest in Mega Millions history.

The Mega Millions jackpot has been won only three times this year, so far the fewest won in any single year since the game began.
