The latest Mega Millions jackpot had climbed to a whopping $1.6 billion by Monday evening.

The jackpot continues to draw people to local bodegas, gas stations and other lottery-selling locations. It's been good for business, with some shops reporting a 10 percent jump in sales.

No one has won a Mega Millions jackpot since July 24. The odds of hitting all six numbers are about 1 in 302 million.

The next drawing is at 11 p.m. Tuesday.
