Last Wednesday’s Powerball did not crown a jackpot winner and the upcoming prize 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 launched this week, expanding its global reach.
Some American players argue the international push creates a disadvantage for locals anyway, which many view as unfair.
Lottery officials expect faster jackpot growth because overnight ticket sales are up, and could boost sales further.
Live results for tonight’s numbers will be published on the official Powerball website and local lottery pages after the 11 p.m. ET draw, for fans across the continent.
