The Mega Millions jackpot rose to $150 million for the drawing on Tuesday, Aug. 5, after no one matched all the winning numbers in the drawing on Friday, Aug. 1.

If someone matches all six numbers on Tuesday, they will have the option of a one-time cash payment of $67.9 million.

There have been four Mega Millions winners this year, with the most recent being the June 27 win in Virginia of a jackpot of $348 million. Before then, on April 18, an Ohio player took home a $112 million jackpot, a lucky lottery ticket holder in Illinois took home a $344 million jackpot on March 25 and another lucky person hit the Mega Millions jackpot on Jan. 17 for $113 million.
