Last Wednesday’s Powerball did not crown a jackpot winner and the next jackpot stays untaken going into tonight’s draw, increasing anticipation.
Shops have begun selling tickets in the United Kingdom alongside the U.S., a new market the lottery added this week, extending its footprint.
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, 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 interested Canadians.
