I would expect it to mean more money in the pot. But I am now wondering if the UK players' money will be going to US education. 🤔

No. From the article

“Just as importantly, this expansion does not change where the money goes," Paul said. "Every Powerball ticket sold in the U.S. will continue to support programs and services right here at home."

More than half of every Powerball ticket sold remains in the jurisdiction where it is purchased, helping fund public programs and services, including education, scholarships, veteran services, parks and recreation, and more.
