Last Wednesday’s Powerball failed to produce a 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 opened this week, broadening its audience.
Some American players say the international push makes the game feel stacked against them anyway, a point of contention.
Lottery officials project accelerated jackpot increase because the volume of tickets sold overnight is rising, and could boost sales further.
Live results for tonight’s numbers will appear on the official Powerball website and local lottery pages after the 11 p.m. ET draw, for fans across the continent.
