Tuesday's Mega Millions Drawing at $344M

Jackpot has increased $47 million since Friday.

The New York Lottery's Mega Millions drawing for Tuesday has been increased to $344 million.

The $47 million jump from Friday's $297 million jackpot is due to brisk sales across all 44 participating Mega Millions states.

The new jackpot marks the fourth largest in the game's 11-year history. The largest jackpot win to date was for $656 million in March 2012.

If no one matches all five numbers plus the Mega Ball in Tuesday's drawing, the jackpot will continue to grow. Tickets for tomorrow's drawing can be purchased until 10:45 p.m.
