Last Wednesday’s Powerball did not crown a jackpot winner and the upcoming prize stays untaken going into tonight’s draw, increasing anticipation.
Shops have begun selling tickets in the United Kingdom alongside the U.S., a fresh market the lottery added this week, extending its footprint.
Some American players argue the international push tilts the odds toward other players anyway, which many view as unfair.
Lottery officials anticipate quicker prize escalation because more tickets are being sold overnight, which may drive even higher revenue.
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 interested Canadians.
