LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WTVQ) – Is today your lucky day?

If so, this might be the time to buy a lottery ticket for tonight’s drawing of the Mega Millions Jackpot.

The current prize is up to an estimated $893 million. The estimated cash value for the drawing tonight is $421.4 million.

Tonight’s jackpot is the 6th largest in the history of  the game. There hasn’t been a winner since the December 8th drawing, which was for $394 million.

According to Mega Millions, the current game record of $1.602 billion was set last August 8 when one winning ticket was sold in Florida.

If tonight’s not your lucky night, there’s always tomorrow’s Powerball which is now up to $687 million.

This is the fourth time both jackpots have passed the $500 million mark simultaneously.
