If you played Powerball in the last two weeks, you got a Bonus Raffle ticket for the "Go Anywhere Getaway" promotion. That ticket is an entry into a weekly drawing for a trip for two to anywhere in the world. The Missouri Lottery is rewarding players for trying the new Powerball game by giving away something reminiscent of winning a Powerball jackpot - the freedom to go wherever you want.
Between now and Feb. 11, we'll draw one grand-prize winner each week for a trip for two to anywhere in the world. We're currently looking for the winner from the first drawing. We'll also select five players to win a travel prize package, and 100 winners of $100.
Just buy a $2 or greater Powerball ticket for the current draw and you'll get a Bonus Raffle ticket for the next drawing. We'll announce the winners on Molottery.com, and you can scan your Bonus Raffle ticket on a Check-A-Ticket machine following the drawing.
Where in the world would you like to go?
You can find information and winning numbers for any Missouri Lottery promotion on Molottery.com.

At work, a group of us used to play - not now. Go back to $1.00. $2.00 is to much to donate. Won't be playing anymore until changes revert back.

Why don't y'all quit your complaining and just go to the website and check your damn numbers. Never seen so many whiny crybabies in all my life.

Thanks for the suggestion, Daren. The Missouri Lottery understands the price change could be difficult for some players, but the game won't be changing back. The changes are working as intended - better odds, bigger jackpots and more Missouri millionaires. Three players have already won $1 million in Missouri.
There are other games we invite you to play. Mega Millions is still $1, and tonight's jackpot is up to $72 million.
Thanks for playing and good luck!

Thanks for the comment, Susan. The "Go Anywhere Getaway" Bonus Raffle promotion ended Feb. 11.

Because you raised the price I only play Mega Millions now. What was wrong with the way it was?...Greed Maybe?

Thanks for the comment, Gary. Powerball needed a lift, and the changes created a new tier of jackpot game. You now win substantial prizes for second-place, and the Powerball jackpots grow large faster. Large jackpots are what drive the most traffic.
The great jackpot run in Mega Millions was, in part, a result of this strategy. Because both games are now available almost nationwide, a larger percentage of the population has a chance to play. When the jackpot reached record levels, sales grew through the roof. That generates more proceeds for public education in Missouri.
I'd encourage you to play whatever game suits you most. Don't discount our state games, like Lotto or Show Me Cash. The prizes may not be as large, but you have better chances and they are only available in Missouri.
You can't win if you don't play. Good luck!
