Mega Millions jackpot grows to $415 million

A lucky someone might be able to start 2019 on an extremely high note.

No one won the Mega Millions jackpot Christmas day. The pot has now grown to $415 million-- the eighth largest in history.

Although the Mega Millions prize has grown larger, the odds of winning remain the same, at a dismal one in 302.5 million.

The $415 million jackpot refers to the annuity option, paid out over 29 years. The cash option, which is favored by nearly all winners, is $248.80 million.

Mega Millions is played in 44 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The drawing is New Year's Day.
