Mega Millions Jackpot Swells to $476M

No one snagged Tuesday's $363 million jackpot, the third largest ever to grace the state of California

The Mega Millions lottery jackpot soared to $476million, after no one was able to match all six numbers on Tuesday night's $363 million drawing.

Tuesday's winning numbers were: 9 - 19 - 34 - 44 - 51, with the mega number 24.

If someone were to win the new $476 million jackpot, he or she has an estimated cash option payout of $341.4 million, according to a news release posted on the California's lottery website.

Tuesday's swelling pot was the largest since January 2011, when the jackpot reached $380 million.

There are millions of possibilities how to spend the millions of dollars.

Jacqueline Morejon wrote that she would "Give everybody a little something, then get out of dodge, to live on an island," on NBC LA's Facebook page.

Ellie Christov wrote that she would, "Give everyone I love enough to never have to work again but in return ask them to volunteer and do good in their communities. Then give the rest to people who do not have enough to feed their families," on NBC LA's Facebook page.
