A Kansas Lottery player, Francisco Erives, has emerged victorious in the final drawing of the NASCAR Powerball Playoff, winning the $1 million top prize.
Erives, from Jetmore, Kansas, was declared the winner during a live drawing broadcast from Phoenix Raceway on NBC, just before the start of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race.
"I feel a little numb," said Erives.
Erives attended the event alongside the other three lottery finalists and was in disbelief when his number was drawn by the machine.
