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.
