The Mega Millions jackpot will hold steady at a record $1.6 billion for Tuesday night’s drawing — but, if no one wins, will hit $2 billion for the next drawing on Friday, officials said.

For the second day in a row, a consortium of lottery officials from across the country opted not to increase the estimated grand prize after poring over ticket sales.

But now, a winner who opts for the lump sum stands to collect a little more — $913.7 million. That’s up from the previous cash option of $904,900,000.

There’s still a 1 in 302.6 million chance of hitting the jackpot.
