Powerball organizers are taking a gamble, betting you'll pay twice as much for a shot at the jackpot. The price of a Powerball ticket will soon double to two dollars.
Organizers believe the change will draw more people to the Powerball because the minimum jackpot will also double from $20 to $40 million. The move is also meant to distinguish the Powerball from its partner multi-state lottery, "Mega Millions."
The price increase goes into effect January 15. You can watch the drawings live on KARK Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9:59 p.m. followed by KARK 4 News at 10. Read more at arkansasmatters.com.
