The expansion will allow U.K. players to play for much larger jackpots than are now available at lotteries in the country and Europe.這項擴展計畫由美國跨州樂透協會與英國彩券商Allwyn UK於四月首度宣布達成協議，這也是美國以外的彩券機構首次加入威力球頭獎的彩金累積。此舉將讓英國玩家有機會爭取遠高於目前英國及歐洲本土彩券的頭獎。The largest Powerball payout was just over $2 billion from a ticket bought in 2022 in California.威力球史上最高頭獎獎金超過20億美元，是於2022年由加州一張彩券獨得。The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are a minuscule 1 in 292.2 million. Those odds will be the same for U.S. and U.K. players, lottery officials say.威力球頭獎的中獎機率極低，僅約2.922億分之一。彩券業者表示，無論是美國還是英國玩家，中獎機率都完全相同。jackpot：名詞，（彩券或賭博中的）頭獎、大獎；意想不到的巨大成功或巨額財富。例句：She hit the jackpot when she got a job at the top tech company.（她在那家頂尖科技公司得到工作，簡直是幸運至極。）新聞辭典minuscule：形容詞，極小的，微乎其微的。例句：The dosage is so minuscule that it has no noticeable effect on the human body.（這個劑量極其微小，對人體不會產生明顯影響。）
