Lindsay Lohan, known for her history of alcohol issues and driving under the influence, is going to pitch car insurance for Esurance during this year's Super Bowl.
Lohan dropped a teaser ad on her Facebook page that may allude to that history. "Anybody need a ride to the big game?" she asks. Then the hashtag #sorta flashes against a black screen.

On Thursday, she confirmed that she'd be in an ad for the company:
Maybe you've heard about me being in an #ad for @esurance. Well, it’s #sorta true... http://t.co/RrnxIxuKt7— Lindsay Lohan (@lindsaylohan) January 29, 2015
Last year Esurance didn't advertise during the game, but ran an ad directly after featuring Office star John Krasinski. Krasinski offered $1.5 million to a random viewer who tweeted the hashtag #EsuranceSave30. That ad prompted 2.1 million tweets; 200,000 came in the first minute after the ad ran.
Lohan was arrested for driving under the influence and felony drug possession in 2007, followed by a slew of troubles with the law.
