No winner came forward on Christmas Eve to claim the $1 billion Mega Millions jackpot, but a handful of people will still be looking at a ho-ho-whole lot of green.

One lucky American could have a very happy holiday as the Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday night rose again to $1 billion. The takeaway after taxes would be a lump-sum payment of $448.8 million for the Christmas Eve drawing.

Players have a 1 in 12,607,306 chance of a ticket matching five numbers but not the Mega Ball and winning at least $1 million. The odds of matching four numbers plus the Mega Ball for a prize of at least $10,000 are 931,001 to 1.
