Last Wednesday’s Powerball failed to produce a winner and the next jackpot stays untaken going into tonight’s draw, increasing anticipation.
Shops are offering tickets in the United Kingdom alongside the U.S., a new market the lottery added this week, expanding its global reach.
Some American players argue the international push makes the game feel stacked against them anyway, which many view as unfair.
Lottery officials anticipate quicker prize escalation because overnight ticket sales are up, potentially attracting new players.
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 those watching online.
