What are the odds you win the lottery? You're more likely to be struck by lightning.
Tuesday’s Mega Millions jackpot is up to $565 million, the second largest this year.
The cash prize totals $293.6 million, according to the Mega Millions website.
It comes after a $1.34 billion jackpot in July — only the third jackpot to top $1 billion since the lottery began.
That jackpot was claimed by two people on one winning ticket in Des Plaines, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. Illinois is among the states where winners of more than $250,000 can choose to not reveal their names.
The winners have opted to take the lump sum payment of $780.5 million.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302.5 million.
