Mega Millions jackpot grows to $940 million after no winners

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- There is still hope to cash in on a huge Mega Millions jackpot.

No winning tickets were sold for Tuesday night's Mega Millions drawing, so the grand prize is still growing.

The jackpot is estimated near the $1 billion mark. It's currently estimated at $940 million.

That's the fourth-largest prize in Mega Millions history.

Tuesday night's winning Mega Millions numbers were 25, 29, 33, 41, 44 and a Mega Ball of 18.
