Last Wednesday’s Powerball did not crown a jackpot winner and the new jackpot stays untaken going into tonight’s draw, adding pressure for players.
Shops are offering tickets in the United Kingdom alongside the U.S., a new market the lottery added this week, expanding its global reach.
Some American players say the international push makes the game feel stacked against them anyway, a point of contention.
Lottery officials anticipate quicker prize escalation because overnight ticket sales are up, which may drive even higher revenue.
Live results for tonight’s numbers will appear on the official Powerball website and local lottery pages after the 11 p.m. ET draw, for fans across the continent.
