Florida Lottery officials on Wednesday said they will add the national Powerball game to the state's portfolio in January and become the new host for the game's semiweekly drawings.

Adding Powerball reversed a decision nearly 10 years ago by former Gov. Jeb Bush, who feared the popular national game could damage Florida's offerings.

Florida Lottery Secretary Leo DiBenigno said Wednesday that times have changed.

"Like any other businesses have to change, we have to adjust to the marketplace," DiBenigno said. "The lottery will constantly re-evaluate its options."

Powerball will relocate from Iowa to an undetermined Florida site for its televised drawings on Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. in the Eastern time zone to roughly 100 stations across the nation.

So get your numbers together and your dollars, your big chance is here.  BTW, the odds of being struck by lightening on a clear day are better than winning the lottery.  Just thought you would like to know.
