Lottery players will be vying for the fourth-largest Mega Millions prize ever in Tuesday’s drawing.
The Mega Millions drawing prize is up to $458 million ahead of Tuesday’s drawing. Tickets can be bought until 10:45 p.m. Tuesday.
There have been 22 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, the lottery said on its website.
The drawing previously awarded a $451 million prize in January to an anonymous Florida limited liability corporation.
Saturday’s Powerball drawing was up to $54 million.
