5. PRIZES AND APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE: (1) Grand Prize – $100,000 awarded only if the Finalist picks a 7-10 split during the game against Jason Couch as stated in rule #4. (1) Consolation Prize - $500 awarded, only in the event Finalist does not win the Grand Prize. (6) Semi-Finalist Prizes - a 4-day/3-night trip for winner and a guest to the PBA Atlanta Classic, February 3-6, 2005 in Norcross, GA. Trip includes round-trip coach air transportation from commercial airport nearest winner's home, hotel accommodations (one room, double occupancy), some meals and the opportunity for each Semi-Finalist to compete in a bowling tournament to determine 1 Finalist. Prizes consist of only those items specifically listed as part of the prize. (ARV $ 2,100 ea.)

LOL!!!

Jim, me too.  That's funny.  I wonder what the odds are, maybe 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000?

Ragnar, the site clearly states the odds;

Here's the part I *really* liked:

quote:
Grand Prize of $100,000 will be awarded only one (1) time even if more than one (1)
7-10 split is successfully converted during that game

And how is someone supposed to go about leaving a 7-10 on purpose?! What a joke! And what does Jason Couch have to do with this?! Is it all of a sudden harder or easier to spare one when your playing him? PHHHHT please PBA, think of something good.

good luck and high scoring

Well, when you guys have 100K to give away, you can decide how easy you want to make it.

Strider, they take out an insurance policy for big prizes like that which in this case must have cost the sponser about 50 cents.
