Last Wednesday’s Powerball failed to produce a winner and the upcoming prize stays unclaimed going into tonight’s draw, adding pressure for players.
Shops now sell tickets in the United Kingdom alongside the U.S., a fresh market the lottery launched this week, extending its footprint.
Some American players argue the international push makes the game feel stacked against them anyway, a sentiment shared by many.
Lottery officials project accelerated jackpot increase because the volume of tickets sold overnight is rising, potentially attracting new players.
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 those watching online.
