Governor Kelly Cashes in on Sports Bet Winnings at Hollywood Casino in Kansas City

Today at the Hollywood Casino in Kansas City, Kansas, Governor Laura Kelly cashed in on Kansas' first legal sports bet, her September wager on the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl. Governor Kelly will be donating the $150 she won, in addition to her original $15 bet, to Chiefs quarterback and Super Bowl LVII MVP Patrick Mahomes' charity, 15 and the Mahomies Foundation. The PENN Entertainment Foundation is donating an additional $1,500 to the charity as well.

"I was thrilled to be in Kansas City today to cash in on our state's first legal sports bet, and to send my winnings to such a great cause," said Governor Laura Kelly. "I can't think of a better way to honor the Chiefs and Super Bowl LVII MVP Patrick Mahomes than by giving my wins to his foundation, which is doing so much good for our children. I'm grateful to the PENN Entertainment Foundation for joining me in supporting 15 and the Mahomies with such a generous donation."
