Louisiana Lottery Joins NASCAR Powerball Playoff™ Promotion Giving Players Chance at Cash Prizes, VIP Race Trip & $1 Million Drawing

BATON ROUGE — Starting April 7, the Louisiana Lottery will join other Powerball lotteries across the nation in the 2025 NASCAR Powerball Playoff™ Promotion to qualify Louisiana players for entry into a national drawing for a $1 million prize broadcast live from the Phoenix Raceway® during NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race™ on Nov. 2. After Louisiana winner Meagan Lewis was chosen as a national finalist and won the million-dollar prize, the Lottery is excited to offer this opportunity to Louisiana NASCAR® fans once again.

As a participating lottery in the national NASCAR Powerball Playoff™ promotion, Louisiana will receive 25 semifinalist entries out of all national entries from participating lotteries. On Aug. 7, 16 of those national entries will be drawn with no more than one semifinalist per participating lottery advancing, so that all 16 of the initial semifinalists will be from a different lottery. Those 16 semifinalists will be announced Aug. 23 at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., to go head-to-head in a series of three additional drawings that coincide with the elimination rounds during the NASCAR Playoffs™, with those eliminated winning cash prizes of $2,500 to $7,500, depending upon their elimination position as follows:

• Drawing 1 on Aug. 7; Announced on 8/23 at Daytona International Speedway – 16 advance
• Drawing 2 on Aug. 27; Announced on 9/13 at Bristol Motor Speedway- 12 advance (4 eliminated win $2,500)
• Drawing 3 on Sept. 17; Announced on 10/5 at Charlotte Motor Speedway – 8 advance (4 eliminated win $5,000)
• Drawing 4 on Oct. 8; Announced on 10/26 at Martinsville Speedway – 4 advance & win NASCAR VIP Trip Prize (4 eliminated win $7,500)
• Drawing 5 on  Nov. 2  live at the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race – 3 $10,000 winners, 1 $1 million winner

The draw series will culminate with four finalists receiving a four-day/three-night VIP NASCAR Championship Weekend™ Prize Pack experience prize for themselves and a guest to the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race™ at Phoenix Raceway® on Nov. 2, during which one of the four finalists will win $1 million during a special televised drawing, while the other three will receive $10,000.

The experience prize includes round trip airfare for two, three-night hotel accommodations (double occupancy), two Ally Curve Hospitality Club passes for both the NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship Race on Nov. 1 and the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race™ on Nov. 2, two passes for VIP Experiences at Phoenix Raceway® during the NASCAR Championship Weekend™ including tours, pace car rides and Victory Lane access, souvenir gift bags valued at $250, and all meals and ground transportation to scheduled events and activities.
