It's that time again!
Hope I am putting this in the right place.

The top nine players each will receive a piece of the cash prize while other players will have the chance to win a variety of other prizes donated by local businesses.

It's a wonderful event, and the drivers who come out to the event are great to play with. It's a shame I won't be able to make this event this year, but if I had the money, I'd find a way to get there, so I only have a few weeks to win the powerball...
