The Mega Millions jackpot has now reached $1.22 billion. Numbers will be drawn at 11 p.m., and a lucky winner will be chosen.

If there is a winner in tonight's draw, this will be the fifth largest jackpot in the game's history.

The grand prize is the largest ever offered in the month of December. Officials say this is only the seventh time the earnings have reached over $1 billion.

"The line is always full," said Saleh Gharama, the store owner of Lucky Lotto 1 Deli Inc at 1450 Nostrand Ave. The store has already had two Take 5 winners from two days ago, and customers are looking to be the next winner.

"You see all three machines are up from the time we open till the time we close," said Gharama.
