So now it's gotten so bad they have to pay fans to turn up to irl races with a "lottery" or a "raffle". I'm sure it will be tied to attendance/ticket sales for the race. In other words you have to buy a race ticket to be eligible for the raffle, assuming Welldone wins and doesn't drop out with "handling problems" after 5 laps. And if that's the case, with it being vegas, a lot of punters will buy tickets for their chance at the money and few will care about the actual event.
At the end of the day, it's just another gimmicky cost as few people know about or care about Dan Welldone. You'd be better off taking that $5 million and investing it in the TV package or some other tangible item of value.
