Are you feeling lucky?

In less than 24 hours, the largest Mega Millions jackpot in the history of the game grew even larger, from $500 million to $540 million.

Since a winner wasn't drawn Tuesday night, it means someone could get very, very, very lucky when the numbers are drawn Friday.

Two tickets sold in Ohio got the $250,000 prize Tuesday night and the winning numbers drawn were: 9-19-34-44-51 and the Mega Ball was 24.

The last time the pot grew in the high nine digits was March 2007. Up until Wednesday, the record jackpot in the U.S. stood at $390 million.

Odds of hitting it big during Friday's drawing are about one in over two million. But someone's got to win it and when they do, here's what to do after striking gold.

Hiring a financial attorney is one of the first steps. Nothing wrong with sharing, but this way, your name isn't running rampant and "relatives" you never knew existed aren't enquiring about getting a piece of the pie.

How much do you walk away with and is an annuity or cash option better? Depends on what you want. At $540 million, if you took the cash option, you would walk away with $389 million, according to the Mega Millions website. But taking that option leaves you with roughly $95 million less than taking 26 payments via an annuity, according to USA Mega.
