Didn't they stop selling 50/50 tickets for several years? I heard a story that the winner of a large pot, somewhere in the low twenty thousand area, asked how to report the winnings on his 1040, and was asked the source of the money. When he told the IRS the source, it led to an investigation and eventual upheaval of the sale of 50/50 tickets at Eldora. I don't remember them selling them at the Four Crown Nationals the last few years.
BTW, I have never seen a winged car race at Eldora. I saw the first WoO championship in 1978, but they were wingless then. I am going to both nights of the Four Crown this year since Steve Kinser is cutting back on his schedule, so I will finally see a winged car race.
