No one won the Mega Millions jackpot Tuesday night, causing the jackpot to grow even more.
The jackpot climbed to an estimated $910 million, with a cash option of $464.2 million, after no big winner. The next drawing will be held Friday, July 28 at 11 p.m. ET.
The jackpot has been on the rise since April 18, when a resident of Syracuse, New York won the $20 million prize. Winners have the option to receive the cash option or the annuity option, which distributes the prize over 29 annual payments.
Most lottery winners choose the one-time, lump-sum cash payment, which the final amount depends on state and federal taxes.
The chances of winning the jackpot are about one in 302 million.

How to play Mega Millions
When purchasing a Mega Millions ticket, you have the opportunity to select six numbers. The first five will be chosen from a range of 1 to 70 for the white balls, and the last number will be chosen from 1 to 25 for the coveted golden Mega Ball. For those who may find it daunting to pick their own numbers, the option to select Easy Pick or Quick Pick is available, which will generate the numbers for your ticket at random.
When playing in certain states, you can choose to add a Megaplier for an additional dollar. This decision could increase your non-jackpot winnings by a factor of 2, 3, 4 or 5 times.
