(CNN) Good news. There's another chance to become America's newest billionaire.

There was no winner in Friday night's Mega Millions drawing and the jackpot is now at least $1.6 billion for Tuesday's drawing.

If the winner goes with the one-time cash option they will receive nearly $905 million.

The winning numbers on Friday were 65-53-23-15-70 and the Mega Ball was 7.

The potential payout would be a record for the nation.

You know the epic bank heist scene in "Heat"? Where De Niro and his gang kill cops and innocent bystanders, shooting up half of L.A. trying to get away?

They were only stealing $12 million.

That’s a lot of fn money.

Seems like every year there’s a new record amount in the mega million.
