There have been 40 consecutive drawings since the last time someone won Powerball's top prize on New Year's Day. The jackpot ranks as the eighth largest in U.S. lottery history.

Since three months have passed without a winner, the Mega Millions jackpot has grown to an estimated $977 million. The jackpot ranks as the 10th largest in U.S. lottery history

The winning ticket was sold at a Publix supermarket in Neptune Beach, a town along the Atlantic Coast near Jacksonville. The jackpot was the third-largest in U.S. history.

Friday night's jackpot was already a whopping $1.35 billion, but since there again was no winner the next one could break the $1.537 billion record set in 2018.

The lack of a jackpot winner in the Friday drawing sent the top prize soaring to an estimated $820 million. The potential jackpot is the fifth largest in the history of the game, Mega Millions said.

The new jackpot for the next drawing is the third-largest in the history of the game, coming behind the world record $2.04 billion jackpot won last year and the $1.586 billion jackpot won in 2016.

The Mega Millions' estimated jackpot has increased to a total of $1.35 billion — the second-largest jackpot in the game's history, officials say.

No one won the estimated $940 million jackpot Friday, pushing the lottery prize to the third-largest Mega Millions in U.S. history ahead of the next drawing Tuesday night.

The Mega Millions jackpot increased to an estimated $940 million after another drawing Tuesday resulted in plenty of losers but not a single grand prize winner
