The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to $800 million, potentially making someone a lot richer ahead of Thanksgiving.

Since no one matched all six numbers drawn on Halloween, a payout – with a cash value of $371.7 million – is up for grabs on Tuesday.

“It has been a while since the Mega Millions jackpot was won during November; the last time was in 2016,” Mega Millions said in a media release. “Since the game began in 2002, though, there have been 16 jackpots won during the month; the largest to date was a $326 million prize won in New York on November 4, 2014.”

“The big prize has been growing since it was last won in Virginia on June 27,” the multi-state lottery game said.

During the last drawing on Friday, 557,912 winning tickets for non-jackpot prizes totaled $10.9 million.
