Powerball to move from Iowa to Florida

? After 16 years in Iowa, Powerball is moving south.

The lottery game is moving its televised drawings from Iowa to Florida.

Florida decided to join the Multi-State Lottery Association last summer and offer the game in January. It’s also getting a new look, new odds and a bigger jackpot.

Executive Director Chuck Strutt says details, including the location of a new studio, are still being worked out, but the first drawing from Florida is set for Jan. 7.

A new face is also coming to Powerball.

Veteran host Mike Pace says it’s time for a change — for him and the game. His last drawing will be on New Year’s Eve — from the U.S. Virgin Islands.
