Powerball lottery tickets went on sale in the United Kingdom on Tuesday, the first time the American game has expanded beyond the United States.
British players can now buy tickets and compete for the same large jackpots as American players. Before this, people in the UK could only win smaller prizes through European and domestic lotteries.
The expansion came from a deal between the Multi-State Lottery Association and Allwyn UK, which was announced in April. It is the first time a lottery outside the US has added money to the Powerball jackpot pool.
