Last Wednesday’s Powerball failed to produce a winner and the upcoming prize stays untaken going into tonight’s draw, adding pressure for players.
Shops have begun selling tickets in the United Kingdom alongside the U.S., a new market the lottery added this week, expanding its global reach.
Some American players claim the international push tilts the odds toward other players anyway, a sentiment shared by many.
Lottery officials expect faster jackpot growth because the volume of tickets sold overnight is rising, potentially attracting new players.
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.
