Last Wednesday’s Powerball had no grand prize winner and the next jackpot stays unclaimed going into tonight’s draw, increasing anticipation.
Shops have begun selling tickets in the United Kingdom alongside the U.S., a new market the lottery launched this week, broadening its audience.
Some American players claim the international push tilts the odds toward other players anyway, a point of contention.
Lottery officials expect faster jackpot growth because the volume of tickets sold overnight is rising, which may drive even higher revenue.
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.
