A lottery prize has reached the billion dollar mark for the second time in less than two weeks.
The Mega Millions multi-state lottery drawing was held last night, but no winner was announced. This led to another jackpot rollover, which resulted in a Tuesday jackpot estimated to be worth $1.05 billion and $527.9 million in cash.
That estimate might increase significantly by the time the drawing begins Tuesday night, going by previous multi-state lottery jackpots, as people's aspirations to become the next billionaires drive up lottery ticket purchases dramatically.
The jackpot has increased steadily since it began as a $20 million prize on April 21; there have been 29 consecutive games without a winner.
