Title: Fan wins $1 million at Blackhawks game Post by: efish on January 20, 2009, 12:50:11 AM I heard about this from a friend and it sounded unreal, and just found a write up on it......
Martin Havlat made one Blackhawks fan very happy during Monday night's Blackhawks game. You see, if a Hawks player scores at the 10:00 mark of the second period, an Illinois Lottery promotion awards one lucky fan $1 million. Havlat scored the Hawks lone goal in a 4-1 loss to Minnesota at that exact moment, sending an as-yet-identified season ticket-holder sitting in Sect. 326 home $1 million heavier in the wallet. The winner met Havlat outside the Hawks locker room following the game and looked a bit stunned (go figure) as he thanked the Hawks winger. The Hawks are expected to introduce the lucky winner prior to Wednesday night's game against the St. Louis Blues at the United Center. http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/icing/2009/01/fan-wins-1-million-at-hawks-game.html I wonder what the odds of this are. The exact SECOND! insane. Title: Re: Fan wins $1 million at Blackhawks game Post by: Chief on January 20, 2009, 01:44:18 AM wow!!!
