PITTSBURGH PROMOTION
Yesterday afternoon I watched the Pirates score two in the ninth to beat the Cubs 2-1. I happened to be watching the Pirates broadcast of the game, and found one promotion particularly interesting.

Basically, you have to write in and pick an inning for the Pirates to turn a triple-play, if so, you win $1,000,000.

Think about this. In order for you to win that million dollars...
1)The Pirates have to turn a triple play (very slim odds)
2)You have to have your name selected on that day (very slim odds)
3)You have to have the inning selected (1 in 9 shot)

Just for getting your name selected means you win $1,000 which is cool. It is so ridiculously improbable to win the million though that I wonder if they even have it. They could say that the winner of this contest gets a billion dollars, it's not like a winner will ever happen.
