Last Wednesday’s Powerball had no grand prize winner and the next jackpot stays unclaimed going into tonight’s draw, raising stakes for bettors.
Shops have begun selling tickets in the United Kingdom alongside the U.S., a fresh market the lottery added this week, extending its footprint.
Some American players say the international push tilts the odds toward other players anyway, a sentiment shared by many.
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 be published on the official Powerball website and local lottery pages after the 11 p.m. ET draw, for fans across the continent.
