Powerball Adds Third Drawing Starting Tonight

The multi-state Powerball lottery adds a third weekly drawing starting tonight (Monday).  Powerball administrators say they hope the new Monday drawing will result in larger prizes and increased sales.  A new feature called “Double Play” is being added.  It costs an extra dollar and gives Powerball players a second chance to match their numbers in a second drawing that has a top cash prize of 10 million dollars.  Double Play tickets are eligible to win both prizes.
