Tosha Tomlinson of Anderson is one of 12 semifinalists who will vie for the chance to win a VIP trip for two to the NASCAR Championship Weekend in Phoenix, Nov. 8-10, and the chance to win $1 million during a special drawing televised live from the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race on Sunday, Nov. 10.

The "NASCAR Powerball® Playoff" promotion is a partnership between Powerball® and NASCAR in which 16 semifinalists were drawn from a pool of entrants from all participating lotteries. The semifinalists are now going head-to-head in a series of drawings that coincide with the elimination rounds of the NASCAR Playoffs.

The results of the first elimination round were announced during the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sept. 21, with Tomlinson moving on to the next round where she will compete with the 11 other semifinalists to see who advances. The 12 semifinalists will be narrowed down to eight during the Bank of America ROVAL™ 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Oct. 13.

"I was so shocked when I found out I'm a semifinalist," Tomlinson said. "My husband and I are big NASCAR fans. We watch it every Sunday and have for years and have even gone to the Brickyard 400 a few times. So getting to go to Championship Weekend would be very exciting!"

From May 1 through June 17, Indiana residents entered by visiting eyebchina.com/NASCAR and signing up or confirming their myLOTTERY membership. Once the promotion period ended, 35 names were drawn, with each receiving a $50 Hoosier Lottery 飞艇数据全国统一查询体彩网 Prize Pack and an entry in the multi-state lottery promotion for a chance to be one of 16 semifinalists.

"Given Indiana's rich racing tradition, this promotion is especially exciting," said Sarah M. Taylor, Hoosier Lottery 飞艇数据全国统一查询体彩网 Executive Director. "We will be cheering on Tosha and are anxious to find out whether Indiana will have a new millionaire on November 10."

The VIP trip experience will include roundtrip airfare for two to Phoenix, three nights hotel accommodations, two Hospitality Club passes for the NASCAR Championship weekend, two passes for VIP experiences at Phoenix Raceway during the NASCAR Championship Weekend including NASCAR Cup Series™ VIP access, NASCAR team hauler tour, pace car rides, Victory Lane access, welcome dinner and all meals, and ground transportation to scheduled events and activities.

Last year, Hoosier Lottery 飞艇数据全国统一查询体彩网 player Donald Pope from Michigan City advanced to the final four. He experienced the VIP trip to Phoenix and was on national television with the chance to win $1 million.
