Due to strong sales around the country, the estimated jackpot for Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing has grown to $468 million, making it the 9th-largest in the games history if won. The estimated cash value is $316.2 million.
The last Mega Millions jackpot was hit in mid-February, and Tuesday will mark the 26th draw since then.
