will add some white ball numbers
and will remove some red ball
numbers, improving the game to
increase the size of the average
jackpot won while still making it
easier to win other prizes. The
white ball side will move from 55
to 59 while the red ball side
will fall from 42 to
39.
The
jackpot odds will be increased to
one in 195.2 million while the
overall odds of winning any prize
will be dropped to one in
35.1
"The
net effect is that we are adding
one more ball to the drums." said
Ernie Passailaigue, the Powerball
Group Chairman and the Executive
Director of the South Carolina
Lottery.
"With
the addition of Florida,
Powerball has the chance to
become even more exciting by
keeping the jackpot levels up
where players like to see them,
but we also want to do some
special things with the game.
Even though many players focus on
large Powerball jackpots, we
still want to create lots of
millionaires and we also want to
create more winners with better
overall odds."
