The Mega Millions jackpot is at a jaw-dropping $830 million, which is the third largest jackpot ever.

The prize is so large because there has been no jackpot winner in three months. Those who are interested in participating in Tuesday night’s drawing still have time to get a ticket, as long as they go before 10:45 p.m. Eastern time. The drawing will take place live at 11 p.m.

Tickets are $2 each, and the odds of winning are 302,575,350 to 1, according to WSB-TV Atlanta.

The biggest Mega Millions win from a single ticket was $1.537 billion in October 2018 by someone in South Carolina. Overall, the largest jackpot ever came from Powerball with a pool of $1.586 billion in January 2016, which was split among three winners in Tennessee, California, and Florida, according to U.S. News.
