Powerball winning ticket: Seller is NFL player’s father-in-law

As the man whose gas station sold the $2.04 billion Powerball ticket, Joe Chahayed is for the moment the most famous person in his family.

Usually he takes a back seat to his son-in-law, former NFL player Domata Peko.

Peko tweeted congratulations Tuesday — “Alexa, play A Milli” — to the man he calls Baba, father of his wife, Anna.

After the announcement that the single winning ticket for the record Powerball jackpot was sold at his Altadena gas station, Chahayed, 75, posed with a souvenir check for the $1 million he’ll collect for being the ticket’s seller.

Chahayed — who immigrated from Syria in the 1980s — said he planned to share the money with his family, including five children and 11 grandchildren.

Son-in-law Peko, 37, played 15 seasons in the NFL, 11 of them with the Cincinnati Bengals. He’s from a pro football family — his brother Tupe Peko and cousins Kyle Peko and Fou Fonoti have also logged NFL time.

Peko’s two oldest sons play football at Calabasas High, in the San Fernando Valley; Domata Jr. is a senior, Joseph is a freshman. Their 9-year-old brother is Samson, named for his father’s famously wild hair and his Christian faith.

Domata and Anna Peko own and run the restaurant and bar Trocadero on Sunset, in West Hollywood. It shares a name with a celebrity hot spot of the 1930s and ’40s, though it’s at a different site; the Sunset Strip building that housed the legendary “Troc” is long gone.
