1. The Mega Millions Jackpot continues to grow to $868 million!
The numbers for Tuesday night's drawing were 3, 45, 49, 61, 69, and Mega Ball 9.
The next drawing will be Friday. The estimated jackpot for that drawing would be the second-largest lottery prize in U.S. History.
The jackpot has been growing since July. It costs $2 to play the game, but the odds of winning the jackpot aren't good.
The chance of matching all six numbers and taking home the grand prize is 1 in 302.5 million.
2. From a house of prayer to homes, the old Saint James Lutheran Church on Knapp Street will be turned into five apartments.

The units inside the church as expected to cost $1,200 a month, and the nine unites will likely cost about $1,500.
