Coming in at 1.1 billion as of Tuesday afternoon, the current jackpot is the fourth largest in Mega Millions history. Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot is at $95 million for Wednesday night's drawing.

This is where Krispy Kreme swoops in to save the day.

Between Tuesday, August 1 and Wednesday, August 2, customers can bring a Mega Millions ticket from Tuesday’s big drawing or a losing ticket from any other lottery to a Krispy Kreme store near them for a free original glazed donut. The offer is limited to one freebie per customer while supplies last.

“Tuesday’s $1 billion lottery drawing reminds us that we definitely hit the lottery when it comes to our fans,” said a Krispy Kreme press release. “There’s probably a billion reasons we love them so much. So, this week we want them all to win some ‘dough.’”
