Mega Millions, Powerball jackpots total more than $800 million

Tuesday night's Mega Millions jackpot sits at $361 million.

For those who want to play, tickets must be purchased by Tuesday at 10:45 p.m. for Mega Millions, Wednesday at 9:50 p.m. for Powerball, and Wednesday at 10:45 p.m. for Megabucks Doubler.

That makes it more likely for the grand total to roll into the next drawing. The cash value of the January 2 Mega Millions drawing will be $225 million.
