It’s almost time to celebrate the new year, and one lucky North Carolinian may be ringing in 2024 as the Powerball First Millionaire of the Year!

On New Year’s Eve, Pamela Bradshaw of Clinton, the lucky winner from our Powerball First Millionaire of the Year second chance drawing, will be attending Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest in New York City. That night, Pamela will have a chance to win $1 million and become the Powerball First Millionaire of 2024. Pamela is one of five finalists, which means she has a 1 in 5 chance of starting the new year as a millionaire!

To celebrate the event, we’re asking our fans on Facebook to help cheer Pamela on. Starting on December 27th, visit our Facebook page and comment on the promotion post sending some words of encouragement to our lucky finalist. Comment by the end of the day on New Year’s Eve, then tune in to Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest to see if Pamela is the lucky Powerball First Millionaire of the Year! Everyone who comments will be entered for a chance to win $100 in Online Play credit – and on January 2nd, we’ll randomly select 5 lucky winners. What a way to kick off the new year!

Don’t miss out on our last promotion of the year! Comment by 11:59 PM EST on December 31st to be entered for a chance to win. Good luck, and Happy New Year!

Must be 18 to play. View full Promotion Rules for more details.
