NEW YORK (WWTI) — New Yorkers now have an additional chance to win the lottery.

The New York Lottery has announced the launch of Monday night Powerball drawing. This additional drawing joins the lineup currently held in the evenings on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

According to the Lottery, the first Monday night drawing will be held on August 23 at 10:59 p.m. Sales for the new drawing will begin the day before on August 22.
