The Mega Millions jackpot jumped to $790 million after no tickets matched all six winning numbers in Friday night's drawing.
Friday's winning numbers were 14, 40, 60, 64, 66, plus the golden Mega Ball 16, according to the lottery website.
The night's $630 million prize was the equivalent of about $388 million in cash, the lottery said.

In the case of three of those tickets - sold in Delaware, New Jersey and New York - they had opted for the Megaplier, giving each one a prize of US $ 3 million.
The fourth match-five ticket was sold in Virginia and was worth $1 million, according to the lottery.
