Last Wednesday’s Powerball did not crown a jackpot winner and the upcoming prize stays still open 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 opened this week, expanding its global reach.
Some American players argue the international push tilts the odds toward other players anyway, a sentiment shared by many.
Lottery officials expect faster jackpot growth 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.
