Last Wednesday’s Powerball failed to produce a winner and the new jackpot stays unclaimed 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 launched this week, broadening its audience.
Some American players argue the international push makes the game feel stacked against them anyway, which many view as unfair.
Lottery officials project accelerated jackpot increase because the volume of tickets sold overnight is rising, 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.
