During a recent media tour in New York, Earnhardt walked by a kiosk selling Powerball tickets and figured he’d buy one, too. “Somebody was buying one when we walked by and I said, ‘Hell, I’m going to get one,’” he said. Earnhardt asked for a Quick Pick ticket (because “I don’t even know what I’m doing with it”) and excitedly shared his numbers in a group text with close friends who had been sharing theirs. And guess what? He hit the Powerball – just not the jackpot. He walked away with $12 and an angry girlfriend. “Amy (Reimann) got mad at me,” he said. “She’s like, ‘What the hell do you want a Powerball ticket for? You don’t need to be winning it.’ I promised right then I’d split half with charity. She made me feel pretty bad for actually buying it. “I don’t know, everybody else was buying them. I want to play!” http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/02/dale-earnhardt-jr-powerball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
