No one won the latest Mega Millions drawing in the U-S, meaning the jackpot climbs to a whopping 1.6 billion dollars.
Mega Millions officials say no tickets matched all six numbers to claim the estimated one billion grand prize in last night's drawing.
The next drawing will be Tuesday and will tie for the largest lottery prize in U-S history.
As well, no winning ticket was sold for the $60 million jackpot in Friday night's Lotto Max draw.
However, there were also 53 Maxmillions prizes of $1 million each up for grabs, and 23 of them were won, to be shared amongst 39 winning ticket holders across the country, including three in Quebec with a winner in DDO.
The jackpot for the next Lotto Max draw on Oct. 26 will remain at approximately $60 million, but the number of Maxmillions offered will increase to 55.
