FREDERICK, MD – A Maryland man who entered a lottery promotion earlier this year ended up enjoying a VIP NASCAR weekend in Miami, appearing in a nationally televised $1 million drawing and walking away with $22,500 in total winnings. Frederick resident Jeffely Pargo didn’t capture the grand prize, but his trip to Florida with fiancée Tiffanee Canady turned into an unforgettable racing experience with a substantial payday.
Pargo was one of four finalists selected for the NASCAR Powerball The Chase promotion, which culminated Sunday, November 8, at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He received a $10,000 cash prize during the final drawing broadcast on NBC shortly before the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race.
The Frederick resident had already accumulated $12,500 through earlier rounds of the competition, bringing his total promotional winnings to $22,500. He and Canady also enjoyed a VIP Miami trip valued at $10,000, including luxury accommodations, behind-the-scenes racetrack access and two days of championship weekend activities.
