The Powerball jackpot increased again after it remained unclaimed, but one lucky person won a couple million on Christmas.

The jackpot was last won on Dec. 7 when a New York lottery player won a $256 million Powerball jackpot. Meanwhile, the Mega Millions jackpot is at $1.15 billion for Tuesday's drawing - the fifth largest ever - with a cash option of $516.1 million, according to the Mega Millions website.

The Powerball jackpot has not been hit since Dec. 7, when a New York player won the $256 million grand prize, lottery officials said. To score a jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball. The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338.

One Mega Millions player has plenty of dough to ring in the New Year after drawing the winning number. After three months without anyone winning the top prize, a ticket worth an estimated $1.22 billion was sold

The winning numbers in Wednesday evening’s drawing of the "Powerball" game were: 15-26-27-30-35, Powerball: 3 (fifteen, twenty-six, twenty-seven, thirty, thirty-five, Powerball: three, Power Play: three)

The Mega Millions jackpot rose to $1.22 billion after no one managed to hit all six numbers on Christmas Eve. The Friday night drawing comes with a cash option of $549.7 million. If it's won, it would be the fifth-largest jackpot in Mega Millions history,
