Last Wednesday’s Powerball did not crown a jackpot winner and the next jackpot stays untaken going into tonight’s draw, adding pressure for players.
Shops are offering tickets in the United Kingdom alongside the U.S., a fresh market the lottery opened this week, expanding its global reach.
Some American players say the international push makes the game feel stacked against them anyway, a point of contention.
Lottery officials expect faster jackpot growth because more tickets are being sold overnight, 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 those watching online.
