Another Mega Millions drawing, another night without a big winner. No one hit all six numbers and won the estimated $940 million jackpot Friday night, pushing the lottery prize to an estimated $1.1billion ahead of the next drawing Tuesday night.

The winless streak is largely due to the game's long odds of 1 in 302.6 million of winning the big prize. The new estimated prize is for a winner who chooses an annuity paid annually over 29 years. Grand prize winners usually take the cash option, which for Tuesday night's drawing will be an estimated $568 million.
