Last Wednesday’s Powerball failed to produce a winner and the next jackpot stays still open going into tonight’s draw, raising stakes for bettors.
Shops now sell tickets in the United Kingdom alongside the U.S., a new market the lottery opened this week, broadening its audience.
Some American players argue the international push creates a disadvantage for locals anyway, a point of contention.
Lottery officials expect faster jackpot growth because the volume of tickets sold overnight is rising, and could boost sales further.
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.
