One lucky person could celebrate this year's Fourth of July holiday by winning the third largest Mega Millions lottery jackpot.

The jackpot for the July 1, 2016 drawing is now an estimated $415 million after no tickets matched all six numbers drawn in Tuesday night's drawing. The cash value of the jackpot is $286 million.

Lottery officials report the jackpot has rolled over thirty-two times since it was last won on March 8.

Each Mega Millions ticket costs one dollar to purchase. The deadline buy a ticket for the $415 million jackpot is 10 p.m. EDT on Friday, July 1.
