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. 😛

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.
