Someone might be looking at a ho-ho-whole lot of green on Christmas this year — and it won't be the Grinch. The Mega Millions jackpot hit $1 billion ahead of the drawing Tuesday night, according to the lottery's website.

The Grinch had his way as no tickets sold for the $1 billion Mega Millions Christmas Eve jackpot matched the six balls needed to win: 11, 14, 38, 45, 46, and a Mega Ball of 3.The next estimated grand prize is a gargantuan $1.

The Mega Millions jackpot surged to $1.15 billion on Wednesday after no ticket matched the numbers drawn on Tuesday, the lottery said. The numbers drawn on Christmas Eve were 11, 14, 38, 45, 46 and gold Mega Ball 3. The Mega Millions jackpot has only been won on Christmas Eve once before, according to the game.
