The Mega Millions jackpot stands to be the largest in the game’s history and the third largest in U.S. history.
The jackpot has been growing since it was last won in New York in April. Since then, 31 drawings have been held without anyone matching all six numbers.
The Mega Millions jackpot is the second billion-dollar windfall up for grabs this summer. Last month, a Powerball player bought a winning ticket in Los Angeles for that game’s $1.08 billion jackpot.
