Ohio & Mahoning Valley - A new Powerball game will be available to eligible Ohioans in a new Monday night drawing beginning next month.

The Ohio Lottery announced Wednesday that beginning on August 23rd, Powerball players will have an extra chance to win big on Monday nights.

In a press release, the Ohio Lottery said that the Powerball Product Group "anticipates adding the Monday drawing will result in larger, faster-growing jackpots," as well as a yearly increase in the amount of cash prizes and jackpots awarded to players.

The new Monday drawing will not change the Powerball odds or set cash prizes, and players will still choose five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. The add-on Power Play feature will also be available for an additional $1.

"America's jackpot game is picking up the pace to deliver bigger jackpots to our players," said May Scheve Reardon, Powerball Product Group Chair and Missouri Lottery Executive Director in the release. "Players have let us know they want to play for bigger jackpots, and we want Powerball to deliver on their expectations."

Tickets for the new Powerball drawing will be available in all 48 U.S. lotteries.
