Are you the next US lottery billionaire?
You'll soon find out if you play this Friday's Mega Millions, the 10th largest jackpot in its 20-year history, with an estimated jackpot of $480 million.
No need to use a calculator, that's about $276 million in cash.
That prize jumped $40 million after Tuesday's drawing of numbers 4, 7, 10, 45 and 64, plus the gold Mega Ball 12, produced no winners.
A total of 1,197,065 winning tickets were sold Tuesday, with prizes ranging from $1 million to $2 million, the lottery said in an online statement. A ticket sold in Illinois matched all five white balls to win the second prize of a million dollar game.
