(Radio Iowa) The Iowa Lottery is preparing to add another option to Powerball tickets that has proven popular in other states. Lottery spokesperson Mary Neubauer says it’s called the “Double Play” option.

The Double Play option is separate from the regular jackpot pool.

It will cost an extra dollar if you want to add it when you buy your ticket. Neubauer says they don’t know the exact date for rolling out the new option.

The state Lottery Board recently approved the plan to move ahead with the Double Play option in Iowa.
