Columbia, SC (November 4, 2024) – A Midlands man is one of four lottery players headed to NASCAR Championship Weekend™ at Phoenix Raceway®, Nov. 8-10, for a chance at $1 MILLION!
Michael Wells of Columbia heard his name called during yesterday’s Xfinity 500 race at Martinsville Speedway. The other three finalists announced were from Delaware, Louisiana and North Carolina.
One of them will win $1 million in a drawing broadcast live on NBC during pre-race coverage of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race™ on Sunday, Nov. 10 starting at 2 p.m. ET.
“I would love to win the $1 million and take a photo with the winner of the race,” Wells told lottery officials. “If it happens, I’m going to pay off my house and retire.”
Wells says he's been a faithful Powerball player for the last 20 years. He entered the Powerball Playoff Promotion back in the spring and survived a series of elimination drawings that narrowed 16 national winners down to the final four vying for the $1 million prize in Phoenix, AZ.
Players can follow the NASCAR Powerball Playoff on Facebook, Instagram, and online at Powerball.com.
