TOPEKA – A Larned resident has won a 2011 Ford Mustang GT Kansas Speedway pace car in the Power Play to Kansas Speedway promotion, which was Sunday at Kansas Speedway.

Ben H. Bailey was the winner of the pace car grand prize. In addition to the vehicle, the prize also includes all mandatory withholding taxes and initial taxes and fees, bringing the total value of the prize to approximately $59,500.

To become eligible for the promotion, players purchased Powerball with Power Play, $10 minimum, on a single ticket to receive an entry form for the drawings.

“I bought Powerball tickets with the Power Play option every Wednesday and Saturday since this promotion started,” Bailey said. “When Lottery officials called saying that I had won, I thought someone was playing a trick on me.”
