CINCINNATI -- There's a Cincinnati Bengals tie to this week's winning Powerball ticket.
Joe Chahayed, whose store sold the stub that netted $2 billion in winnings, is the father-in-law of former Bengals defensive tackle Domata Peko Sr., according to TMZ.
That fortune has earned Chahayed a sizable payday, too. The Associated Press snapped a photo of Chahayed holding an oversized $1 million check made out to his store, Joe's Service Center.
Peko appeared thrilled at his family's good fortune.
"My Father In-Law Sold the winning PowerBall [ticket] 2 billion $, Congratulations Baba," Peko said in a post on Instagram on Tuesday.
