This Christmas, a person could find themselves surrounded by a lot of cash.
According to the lottery's official website, the Mega Millions jackpot hit $1000 billion just before Tuesday night's drawing. A winner who opts for a lump sum would take home less than 50% of the total.
However, $448,8 million would certainly make anyone's life better.
If anyone owns a Mega Millions jackpot ticket, it would mark the largest payout ever for the month of December.
The lottery will take place at 11 p.m. Eastern Time on Christmas Eve, ensuring that one lucky winner will enjoy a particularly memorable Christmas Day.
There have been several big Mega Millions wins in recent years. The record-breaking prize was awarded last year to a Florida man, who won a staggering $1.6 billion jackpot with his ticket.
