(NEXSTAR) — For a second time in 2024, Mega Millions players have a chance to win a record-setting jackpot.
Ahead of Tuesday’s drawing, the Mega Millions jackpot sits at an estimated $681 million, with a cash value of $336.1 million.
The current pot has been growing since a $552 million prize was won in Illinois in early June. That prize stands — for now — as the ninth-largest in Mega Millions history.
The $681 million jackpot ranks as the seventh-largest in game history.
