Big Game jackpot at $300 million

ATLANTA -- If you had big plans for $220 million, then how about $300 million?

That's the jackpot for Tuesday night's Big Game drawing because Friday night's drawing failed to produce a winning ticket, lottery officials said.

Thousands of people in seven states gobbled up tickets for the $220 million jackpot -- one of the largest prizes in American lottery history -- but no one managed to match all five numbers plus the Big Money Ball.

The $300 million jackpot will be the second-largest in Big Game history. The biggest -- and a U.S. record -- was $363 million, split by two winners in May 2000.

In all seven participating states, retailers were swamped with customers buying the $1 tickets at the last minute Friday.

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 76 million.
