The Mega Millions jackpot is flirting with the billion-dollar mark. After no winner claimed the prize–which now sits at $940 million–on Tuesday, lottery ticket holders have another chance of striking it rich today when another drawing will be held. 

If fortune smiles on you, here are a few properties that you could buy in the Bay Area with that cool almost billion-dollar prize. Even though the Bay Area’s luxury home market is cooling, there are still plenty of pricey properties up for sale.
