wiegie Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 During halftime of the SEC Championship game, Dr. Pepper sponsered its "million dollar challenge" by which a lucky person could win up to 1 million dollars by throwing footballs into a target and then kicking a 30 yard field-goal. The person would get $10,000 for each thrown ball that hit the stationary target. The person got to throw five balls at the target from 5 yards away and another five balls from 10 yards away. The person ending up only hitting the target once from 5 yards away and once from 10 yards away. Why is this not a surprise? The contestant's last name was Bulger. (fyi: the contestant (a 31 year-old man) went on to badly miss the fg attempt and ended up taking home ony $20,000 out of the possible $1 million).

Sgt. Ryan Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Big 12 Champ game had the same thing, but the guy went 5-5 from 5 yds and 1-5 at 10 yds. But instead of kicking a FG, he had to hit the same target from 30 yds, to add a 0 to his total. He didnt and won 60K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeler Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 How big was the target? One for 5 from 5 yards seems horrificly bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
