Statewide Iowa — The Powerball and Lucky for Life games are adding more drawings later this year.
Iowa Lottery spokesperson, Mary Neubauer, explains the change.
Powerball is nationwide, while the Lucky For Life game involves Iowa and 15 other states. Neubauer says the changes are in response to the feedback they’ve been getting.
The big jackpots in the games have lagged since the pandemic.
Neubauer says more drawings don’t change your odds of winning a jackpot.
The Lucky for Life game will change first.
You can win the Powerball jackpot by matching all six numbers selected in the drawing, while the Lucky for Life game gives players a daily shot at winning its top prize of one-thousand dollars a day for the rest of their lives.
