NEENAH, WI (OnFocus) – This year’s NASCAR Powerball Playoff™ winners included Wisconsin’s Bradley Pansy of Neenah. Pansy and 15 lottery players from throughout the country were introduced on Saturday, August 23, 2025, during the broadcast of the Coke Zero Sugar 400™ at Dayton International Speedway™ on NBC. The 16 lottery players will win additional cash prizes and have a chance to win a VIP trip for two to the NASCAR Cup Series Championship™ Race on Nov. 2 at Phoenix Raceway® and entry into a nationally televised drawing for $1 million.

Entered through a national campaign that included 28 participating state lotteries, including the Wisconsin Lottery, the 16 semi-finalists were selected or drawn from in-state contests and second-chance drawings held by each lottery throughout the 2025 NASCAR regular season. Pansy won his opportunity in the Wisconsin Lottery’s NASCAR Powerball Playoff™ Bonus Draw, a limited time offer that occurred in June.

Over the next few months, the NASCAR Powerball Playoff™ lottery players will be reduced through a series of elimination drawings that mirror the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs™. The NASCAR Powerball Playoff players will be cut from 16 to 12 to eight to four finalists. Each cut will be announced during select NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs races, with the players winning cash prizes based on their elimination position.
