We’ve had scratch-off tickets in the state for over a month now. But Powerball is the kind of game that many people think of when they think of a lottery.

You pick a set of five numbers that are drawn on white balls and one number on the red Powerball and if you match them all, you could win millions of dollars.

It’s a multi-state game meaning pay outs are much, much higher than scratch-off tickets.

Lottery Director Ernie Passailaigue says that’s why they expect a lot of people to pay Powerball--the fun of fantasizing about being a millionaire.

"Really what they're doing when you buy a chance and you only need one dollar to get in the drawing when you buy that chance, guess what you have a shot at it, so that's why we market it as a dollar for a dream," Passailaigue said.

KARK will exclusively air the drawings at 9:59 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
