No winning lottery tickets were sold for Tuesday's draw, Mega Millions officials said. The numbers for Tuesday night's estimated $667 million grand prize were 3, 45, 49, 61, 69 and Mega Ball 9.
In 2016, there was a $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot, according to Reuters.
The last winner for the top Mega Millions prize was on July 24, when a group of California office workers won the $543 million jackpot.
It costs $2 to play the game and the odds of winning aren't in your favor. The chance of matching all six numbers and taking home the grand prize is one in 302.5 million, while the odds of winning any Mega Millions prize are one in 24, Reuters reported.
Mega Millions is played in 44 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

I wish happiness to whoever wins all that loot. There is enough money there, even if taken as a cash settlement and after taxes, to live very comfortably forever. But there is also enough money there to really screw up your life if the winner is not careful.

We do an office pool each week when the take is over 75 mil. 20-30 players most weeks.
