Father-in-law of former Raven Domata Peko reportedly sells $2 billion Powerball ticket in California
BALTIMORE - A person is now $2 billion richer in California after a world-record Powerball ticket was sold there.
That winning ticket was purchased at a store owned by the father-in-law of former Ravens defensive lineman Domata Peko, according to Darren Rovell, a sports business reporter for Action Network.
The store in Altadena, California is owned by Joe Chahayed, who is Peko's father-in-law, according to Rovell. Chahayed will receive $1 million because he sold the winning ticket.
Peko, a former fourth-round draft pick out of Michigan State, played with the Ravens in 2019. He played in seven games, starting in three of them, and recorded seven tackles.
He played 15 seasons between the Bengals, Broncos, Ravens and Cardinals.
Chahayed told CBS Los Angeles he's going to share the bonus with his family, which currently includes 10 grandchildren.
