If you've spent $100 million or so on holiday presents and are banking on the lottery to pay for them*, this is your last chance before Christmas.
The next drawing is 11 p.m. today, for a jackpot of $305 million before taxes (or, if you're impatient, $181.4 million in cash).
Mega Millions said in a news release that nobody won the jackpot in Tuesday's drawing. One person did buy a ticket in Louisiana worth $1 million, and 22 others won $10,000.
The winning numbers on Tuesday were 12-22-32-60-69, Mega Ball 9, Megaplier 3X.
Someone in South Carolina really needs to check their ticket — nobody has come forward to claim the Mega Millions $1.5 billion prize that created a lottery frenzy earlier this year.
In 2018, there have been four other jackpot payouts besides the huge one in October: $451 million in January, $533 million in March, $142 million in May and $543 million in July.
Last year around this time, the third-largest jackpot in the game's history, $648 million, was paid out, the lottery noted.
The only states that don't offer Mega Millions are Alaska, Nevada, Utah, Mississippi and Alabama, according to the game's website.
*Financial experts do not recommend this.
