The annual Elephant Festival has kicked off Thursday in Nepal's Chitwan. The festival is held every year between the Christmas Day and New Year's Day. It features activities such as the elephant beauty pageant, elephant soccer game and traditional cultural performances. In another development, The Mega Millions jackpot has surpassed $1 billion after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn on Christmas Eve. That means the estimated jackpot for Friday's drawing is $1.15 billion, potentially the fifth-largest jackpot in the game's history. Watch NDTV'S The World Report for the latest updates.
