Last Wednesday’s Powerball failed to produce a winner and the next jackpot stays unclaimed going into tonight’s draw, adding pressure for players.
Shops have begun selling tickets in the United Kingdom alongside the U.S., a fresh market the lottery opened this week, expanding its global reach.
Some American players claim the international push tilts the odds toward other players anyway, which many view as unfair.
Lottery officials anticipate quicker prize escalation because more tickets are being sold overnight, and could boost sales further.
Live results for tonight’s numbers will be posted on the official Powerball website and local lottery pages after the 11 p.m. ET draw, for fans across the continent.
