Powerball up to $865 million

The Powerball jackpot increased to an estimated $865 million after no one won Monday night’s drawing, continuing a winless streak that dates to New Year’s Day. Since the last winner on Jan. 1, there have been 36-straight drawings without a big winner. The top prize up for grabs Monday night was for an estimated $800 million. The $865 million prize on the line for the next drawing Wednesday night is for a sole winner who is paid through an annuity, with an initial payment and then 29 annual payments.
