Still no winner in the Mega Millions after Tuesday night's drawing, and with that the jackpot has jumped another $201 Million to roughly $900,000,000, and is expected to grow even larger with increased Lotto sales. 

The winning numbers for Tuesday's $667 Million pot were 3-45-49-61-69 and Mega Ball 9. 

As for the Powerball, the jackpot has ballooned to roughly $345 Million for Wednesday night's drawing.  

Tuesday's jackpot broke the previous Mega Millions record of $656 Million back in March 2012.

The largest lottery jackpot in the U.S. was a $1.586 Billion Powerball prize that was claimed in January 2016.

Still a lot of lottery cash to be claimed as there was no winner in Tuesday night's Mega Millions jackpot drawing, pushing Friday night's jackpot to a whopping $548 Million! 

That's the third largest prize in Mega Millions history; the largest being the $656 Million that three winners shared back on March 30, 2012. 

Not the largest Lottery jackpot, though, as the $1.6 Billion Powerball jackpot, more recently claimed in January of 2016. Three winners also shared that prize. 

Before Friday's Mega Millions drawing, the Wednesday night Powerball is sitting at $282 Million. 

Tuesday night's winning Mega Millions numbers were 20-22-39-54-60, with the Mega Ball of 18 and a 3x Megaplier.
