The Texas Lottery and Texas Motor Speedway announced the Ultimate VIP Suite Experience winner from the Texas Lottery’s first 50X Speedway Riches Texas Motor Speedway branded scratch ticket game Sunday, May 22, during a media availability as part of the $1-million-to-win NASCAR All-Star Race prerace festivities.
San Antonio resident Juan Rivera was selected in a final Special Drawing from all entries received from the first four drawings – including those already selected to win Merchandise Prize Packs and VIP Suite Experiences – to win an Ultimate VIP Suite Experience package for the 2021 version of the 50X Speedway Riches scratch ticket game, which included an exclusive suite for one winner and 15 guests, a 15-minute driver meet and greet, VIP passes to a race, pace car ride alongs, a NASCAR driving school experience, a one-of-a-kind All-Star Champions ring and more.
“I was shocked and thought, ‘For real … I won?’,” said Rivera upon learning from lottery officials of being selected as the winner. “I liked watching Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt when I was a kid. I am just happy to be here and getting to actually watch [the All-Star Race] live.”
“The Texas Lottery is proud to partner with Texas Motor Speedway to offer Mr. Rivera this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attend Sunday’s NASCAR All-Star Race as the Ultimate VIP Suite Experience winner through the 2021 version of the 50X Speedway Riches scratch ticket game,” said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery.
