Oct. 3 (UPI) -- The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1.2 billion, the third largest purse in the game's history, after no ticket Monday night matched all six numbers pulled.
The prize climbed after no one lucked into claiming the $1 billion jackpot up for grabs Monday night by matching white ball numbers 12, 26, 27, 43 and 47 and red Powerball 5. The Power Play multiplier was 2X.
