»  Comments | Post a Comment

GREENVILLE, N.C. - Your odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are getting a little better.

The lottery is changing the structure of the game.

The bottom line? It means more and bigger pay-offs.

The starting pot will now be $40-million, instead of $20-million.

And lottery execs say, the game should produce more $1-million dollar prize winners.

The changes also mean a jump in ticket prices from one to two dollars a piece.

The first drawing under the new game structure will be on Wednesday.
