Indiana Lottery player to participate in Pacers game

The Hoosier Lottery loves basketball, and this time, it's teamed up with the Indiana Pacers to provide a lucky myLOTTERY member a chance to win a prize of up to $250,000.

Davina Winkler from Franklin entered the myLOTTERY Pacers Courtside VIP Giveaway and will participate in an on-court promotion during halftime of the Pacers versus the Philadelphia 76ers game on January 25 for the chance to win between $5,000 and $250,000.

As the grand prize winner out of more than 15,000 entries, Davina also took home a Pacers autographed jersey, a $500 Hoosier Lottery prize pack, a VIP pre-game experience that includes watching warm-ups, and Honorary Team Captain recognition on center court, and a $100 Pacers Team Store gift certificate.

Davina and her husband are excited about attending the game together. In an interview with the Hoosier Lottery, she said:

I've only ever been to high school sporting events. Getting to go to a pro game will be exciting, and having the chance to win money at my first-ever game is crazy.

Davina's husband has good memories of attending Pacers games every year with his father. Now, the couple has a one-year-old son, and they are looking forward to continuing the tradition with him.

About the Indiana Pacers

Founded on February 2, 1967, the Indiana Pacers play their home games at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. They took their name because Indiana is home to the Indianapolis 500 car race and the Hoosier State's long legacy of harness racing. While members of the American Basketball Association, the Pacers have won three league championships in 1970, 1972, and 1973.
