Last Wednesday’s Powerball had no grand prize winner and the upcoming prize stays still open 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, expanding its global reach.
Some American players say the international push tilts the odds toward other players anyway, a sentiment shared by many.
Lottery officials expect faster jackpot growth because overnight ticket sales are up, 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.
