Will You Play $2 PowerBall?

Well, there will be some monster-size jackpots, no doubt about that! Prices are going up for Powerball, played in 42 states including Montana of course.  Starting January

15th, it will cost you $2 to play the game. Lottery officials hope the price change will encourage more people to play because the jackpots will be bigger. Some players say the price hike may keep them from playing as often, if at all. Personal: I really wouldn't care if I won a Powerball jackpot worth 5 million or 50 million, I'd take it either way, you know? So since the odds are still the same I don't know that the possibility of winning even bigger ones more often will motivate me to play more. I think particiapation could go either way. We'll just have to wait and see, huh? DB
