Last Wednesday’s Powerball had no grand prize winner and the next jackpot stays untaken going into tonight’s draw, raising stakes for bettors.
Shops are offering tickets in the United Kingdom alongside the U.S., a recently opened market the lottery added this week, broadening its audience.
Some American players claim the international push creates a disadvantage for locals anyway, which many view as unfair.
Lottery officials anticipate quicker prize escalation because more tickets are being sold overnight, and could boost sales further.
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.
