JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – The Mississippi Lottery is revving up for the 2025 NASCAR Powerball Playoff, aiming to bring another big win to the state and potentially crown a Mississippian as the $1 million champion.
This year’s promotion offers more than $50,000 in prizes to 15 Mississippi Lottery Insiders throughout the qualifying rounds of the NASCAR Powerball Playoff. All 15 Mississippi playoff winners will then be entered into the national NASCAR Powerball Playoff.
Once in the national playoff, contestants will be narrowed down to the final four, who will have the opportunity to attend the special drawing broadcast live from Phoenix Raceway during NASCAR Championship Weekend, October 31 through November 2, 2025, for a chance to win $1 million.
For 2025, the Mississippi Lottery’s promotion will feature seven Qualifying Races with 15 winners total. The first drawing takes place Thursday, April 10. The prize amounts are structured as follows:
- April 10th drawing – one (1) qualified drawing winner receives $10,000 + $5,000 early bird entry bonus

All 15 qualifiers from Mississippi will then enter Powerball’s national pool of semi-finalists. From there, 16 semi-finalists will be selected by a random drawing and announced during the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway on August 23, 2025. The semi-finalists will compete in a series of drawings aligned with the NASCAR Playoff elimination rounds, ultimately leading to the selection of four finalists.
Each of the four finalists will win a VIP trip to the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Weekend at Phoenix Raceway, where they can bring a guest for an all-access experience in Phoenix, Arizona, from October 31 through November 2, 2025. One of the four will win the grand prize of $1 million in a drawing broadcast live from the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race.
