NASCAR Powerball 2026: An Exciting Race to a Million Dollar Prize

As the fast-paced world of NASCAR gears up for another thrilling season in 2026, it introduces an all-new chase-style promotion – The Official Lottery Game of NASCAR. This unique promotion converges the thrill of lottery and the adrenaline rush of racing, creating a one-of-a-kind experience for fans and players alike.

Chase Your Way to $1 Million

Bringing together the excitement of lottery and the intensity of NASCAR racing, this national Powerball promotion offers lottery enthusiasts a chance to win cash prizes through a series of drawings that unfold during The Chase. Just like how top drivers collect points throughout the season, players will have opportunities to collect cash prizes leading up to an exhilarating finale.

The climax of this promotion is set to be a grand spectacle at the NASCAR Championship Weekend™ in Miami, come November 6-8, 2026. Four lucky lottery players will win a VIP trip for two to this event, where they'll witness one player being crowned as the $1 million winner in a special live drawing on NBC before the start of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Championship™ race.

The Thrilling Journey to Miami

As the regular season draws to an end, each participating lottery will put forward one semi-finalist. These semi-finalists will then embark on their journey in NASCAR Powerball - The Chase to $1 Million. Each semi-finalist receives an initial prize of $2,000 as they reach the start line.

From here on, it's a thrilling chase with each semi-finalist advancing through a drawing and collecting cash prizes along the way. The excitement escalates with the third drawing, where the four players who advance will secure the coveted VIP trip to NASCAR Championship Weekend in Miami and a chance to enter the $1 million drawing.

The suspense-filled results of each drawing will be unveiled during select race broadcasts, starting with the Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway®. This journey to Miami will see semi-finalists advancing through each round, accumulating cash prizes and inching closer to the grand prize.

Unforgettable VIP Experience

The VIP trip for the four finalists includes roundtrip airfare for two to Miami, three nights of hotel accommodation, Ally Pit Box passes at Homestead for both the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Part Series Championship Race on Nov. 7 and the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race on Nov. 8. But that's not all – they also get VIP access to Homestead-Miami Speedway during NASCAR Championship Weekend, including a NASCAR team hauler tour, MRN radio booth tour, pace car rides, Victory Lane access, meals, and ground transportation to scheduled events and activities.

Recalling last year's eventful promotion, Kansas Lottery player Francisco Erives emerged as the winner of the $1 million prize. A Staff Sergeant in the Kansas Army National Guard, Erives experienced his moment of glory in a special live drawing from Phoenix Raceway® just before the start of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Championship™ Race.

This year's promotion promises to carry forward this legacy of excitement and anticipation as new players gear up for their chase towards a million-dollar dream.
