Pocono Lottery Finalists: Cecelia Auerbeck, Tammy Blankenship, Thomas Jackson, Evelyn Marburger, and Raymond Petrosky tickets were drawn as Grand Prize finalists, each being one of five winners of an all-expense paid trip to the Pocono 500 for the Pennsylvania Lottery’s CASH 5 NASCAR(R) Weekends at Pocono drawing. The five finalists were selected from entry tickets that were generated when players purchased a $5 block of CASH 5 tickets and submitted those entry tickets into a random drawing. Each of the five finalists will receive $5,000 and a raceway accommodations package for two that includes raceway tickets, superbox seating and pit passes for three days of NASCAR(R) events held at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond; track tour; three-day, four-night hotel accommodations; transportation between the track and hotel; meals and beverages. There will be a Grand Prize event during the Pocono 500 pre-race ceremonies. The Grand Prize winner will be announced at the finish line at the track and will win an additional $15,000, bringing the Grand Prize winner’s total to $20,000. Entry tickets for the two CASH 5 NASCAR(R) Weekends at Pocono drawings are generated from April 8 through and including June 26, 2002. Lottery players still can enter the drawing for the upcoming Pennsylvania 500 Race Weekend at Pocono Raceway in July, see my Racing Contests page for more info.(Business Wire)(6-6-2002)
