There was no winner at the Friday night Mega Millions draw and the jackpot is now at least $ 1.6 billion for Tuesday's draw.
If the winner chooses the payment option at once, he will receive close to $ 905 million.
Friday's winning numbers were 65-53-23-15-70 and the Mega Ball was 7.
The potential payment would be a record for the nation.
It's now the biggest draw in the history of the American lottery, after a $ 1.586 billion Powerball draw in 2016 shared between winners in California, Florida and Tennessee.
According to a statement from Mega Millions, the jackpot of the game was won a few months and 25 times in total.
Nobody has won the Mega Millions jackpot since July 24, when a group of eleven Californian workers shared $ 543 million.
The jackpot has risen by more than $ 400 million since Tuesday night, when the payment would have been $ 667 million.
Washington will also be a big winner. The federal government collects 25% before the check is returned to the winner and collects the remaining taxes at maturity. Most states also charge lottery winnings.
Do not discard your ticket if you do not match the six numbers Friday's drawing. Mega Millions officials say they have sold more than 34.4 million winning tickets for secondary awards since July. Some were worth up to $ 1 million.
Powerball is organizing its draw Saturday night with a potential prize of $ 470 million.
