The Mega Millions Jackpot has gone on for 28 drawings without a grand prize winner and the prize is up to $810 million.
A Chevron gas station on Topanga Canyon Blvd. in Woodland Hills is just one of 23,000 lottery retailers in the state getting ready for Tuesday's drawing.
A customer at the gas station hit a multi-million dollar Mega Millions Jackpot in January and did not come forward until last month and took the lump sum payment.
