Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $87 Million Ahead of Monday Drawing: The Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated $87 million for the upcoming Monday night drawing, giving players another shot at a life-changing prize.
The increase comes after no ticket matched all six numbers in the previous draw, causing the jackpot to roll over and grow. The cash option for the prize is estimated at around $39 million, offering winners a lump-sum alternative to the full annuity payout.
