Last night it was estimated at $940M, which I feel is still a reasonable target. I've never seen them downward revise the estimate like that before!
It seems low because Monday is somewhat of a softer day for Powerball sales (IIRC this is the new, third weekly drawing that was added). Otherwise, $1B would certainly be in play for the next jackpot after $875M.

There's also Mega Millions for a measly $640M on Tuesday.

$1B now!

Friday's Mega Millions is $1.25B.

The next MM jackpot is a record $1.55B.

$1.5B = ~$600M after lump sum + taxes

For me, it'll be 3,6,7 or 9

LOL....why bother? It's not like you would ever need them as a reference. Jist don't show up...maybe call them once you've woken from the party hangover..."I ain't coming in today...or ever."

It was not my ticket.

First time I've bought lottery tickets in probably five years. Bought two tickets, matched exactly one of the winning numbers. Now I remember why I don't play that suckers' game.

Mo' money, Mo' problems:

The winners of the previous record lottery win, hired the wrong lawyer:

The lawyer, the lottery winners – and larceny

A lucky soul in Florida on Tuesday won the biggest-ever Mega Millions lottery jackpot — $1.58 billion. For the rest us who have daydreamed of yachts and private islands despite the 1-in-302-million odds of winning, here’s some consolation: Dealing with sudden, massive wealth is not easy.
