Powerball is no longer just a U.S. play for British lottery fans: ticket sales have begun in the United Kingdom, giving players there — including Londoners — access to the same jackpot U.S. players are chasing.
Can UK players buy Powerball tickets now?
Yes. Powerball ticket sales have started in the United Kingdom, opening the U.S. lottery game to British players. The change means UK participants can enter for the same jackpot available to players in the United States.
When sales started
The launch was reported July 21, 2026. No earlier start date was provided in the source material, so the clearest confirmed timing is that sales were already underway by that date.
Can Londoners win the jackpot?
Londoners are included. Because ticket sales have begun in the United Kingdom, players in London and elsewhere in the country can take part in the Powerball draw for the shared jackpot.
How it works for UK players
For UK players, the key change is access: they can now enter the same Powerball jackpot pool that U.S. players compete for. The source material does not provide details on where tickets are sold, purchase rules, pricing, odds, taxes or prize-claim procedures for UK entrants.
What it means
