That's because the price of a Powerball ticket has doubled.
The increase from one to two dollars went into effect on Sunday.
Lottery officials say the increase will produce bigger jackpots and better odds of more people winning.
Powerball is played in Arkansas and 41 other states, as well as Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
