The US Mega Millions jackpot has reached an estimated $400m (£244m) for the next draw which takes place on Friday.
The growing amount comes after no one won Tuesday's top prize of $344m (£210m), lottery organisers said.
While Friday the 13th may be considered unlucky for some, those ticket-buyers taking part in the draw will be hoping it is their lucky day.
The winner can choose how he or she takes the money.
If they chose to take a cash prize rather than an annuity - a regular monthly payment - they will get the equivalent of £132m, according to the Mega Millions.
Tuesday's top prize had a cash payout option of $184m (£112m), according to the lottery, which is played in the majority of US states.
The winning numbers from that draw were: 5, 12, 22, 41, 65 and 13, Mega Millions said.
There have been no jackpot winners in more than two months, pushing the purse steadily higher, although it remains well below the record-setting £401m won on March 30, 2012.
There were three winning tickets for it - from Illinois, Kansas and Maryland - with all three ticket winners coming forward within a month.
