The Daytona 500 champ said the first Powerball ticket he ever bought paid off big time.
“So he gives me the tickets, and I have them and the we go to dinner,” Hamlin said. “They drew the Powerball. I come home. I’m brushing my teeth and the Powerball tickets are sitting there face up and the very first ticket that that nice gentleman printed, hit five of the six numbers on Powerball. I was only missing the one number.”
Hamlin said he looked it up and the odds of him hitting that were one in a million. Hamlin said he wished he would have known to play the Power Play, but still figures he did pretty good. “I never played the Powerball, but the very first ticket that got printed — Bam!,” he said. “I hit five of six numbers.”Hamlin said he got recognized while waiting to cash the ticket, and took a photo with a fan who said he had been playing the numbers his whole life and never hit it so big.
“I just kind of felt bad that I was cashing out this big ticket when likely there were these people who were lifers in there that had never hit it,” he said.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
