No one hit all six numbers in Friday’s Mega Millions drawing, pushing the estimated jackpot for Tuesday’s drawing to a staggering $900 million — the 15th-largest lottery prize in U.S. history.

There were also no tickets matching five numbers without the Mega Ball, the Mega Millions Consortium, which runs the game, confirmed.

The winning numbers from Friday were 16, 21, 23, 48, 70, with the Mega Ball 5. At the time, the jackpot was estimated at $843 million.

Friday’s drawing marked the 38th since a ticket last matched all six numbers. The odds of hitting all five numbers plus the Mega Ball are 1 in 290,472,336, while the overall chance of winning any prize is 1 in 23.

If someone wins Tuesday, it would be the eighth-largest jackpot in Mega Ball history. The game, which began in 1996 as The Big Game, was renamed Mega Ball in 2002.
