Don't forget about PowerBall, it's up to $630-million, with an estimated cash value of $354-million.
MegaMillions says the previous world record holder for lottery jackpot was a Powerball two years ago, where winners in three states split a $1.5-billion prize.
The PowerBall drawing is Wednesday evening, but tonight is the big night for Mega Millions. That drawing is scheduled for 10 p.m.
The odds of winning, at last check, were about 1 in 300-million.
Lottery officials say 75-percent of the 302-million number combinations will be sold, meaning there is a chance no one wins and the Mega Millions prize keeps growing.
