Last Wednesday’s Powerball failed to produce a winner and the upcoming prize stays untaken going into tonight’s draw, adding pressure for players.
Shops are offering tickets in the United Kingdom alongside the U.S., a recently opened market the lottery opened this week, extending its footprint.
Some American players say the international push makes the game feel stacked against them anyway, a sentiment shared by many.
Lottery officials project accelerated jackpot increase because more tickets are being sold overnight, which may drive even higher revenue.
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.
