NASCAR Powerball Playoff
Win a VIP trip to NASCAR Championship Weekend and a Chance to Win $1 Million
NASCAR® and Powerball® are teaming up to give fans a unique winning experience during the NASCAR Playoffs. As 16 drivers battle for the NASCAR Cup Series title, 16 lottery players will have a unique opportunity to go head-to head for a championship of their own through a new promotion called the NASCAR Powerball Playoff.
The NASCAR Powerball Playoff will culminate with four lottery players winning a VIP trip for two to NASCAR Championship Weekend™ at Phoenix Raceway, Nov. 3-5, and the chance to win $1 million in a special drawing televised live from the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race™ on Sunday, Nov. 5 (3 p.m. ET on NBC/NBC Sports App, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
The promotion will begin at the state level with participating lotteries selecting entrants, by a method of their choosing, to form a national pool. Sixteen semi-finalists will be drawn from the national pool, with no more than one semi-finalist per lottery advancing. The 16 semi-finalists will be announced during the NASCAR Cup Series regular-season finale, the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, Aug. 26 (7 p.m. ET on NBC/NBC Sports App, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
The semi-finalists will then go head-to-head in a series of drawings that will coincide with the elimination rounds of the NASCAR Playoffs. The four semi-finalists still in the playoffs after the fourth drawing will win a VIP trip for two to NASCAR Championship Weekend at Phoenix Raceway, Nov. 3-5, and advance as finalists to the $1 million drawing. Cash prizes will be awarded to all 16 national semi-finalists based on their elimination position.
