Is there anyone of us who hasn’t been left entertained by the halftime shows put out during NBA games? If you have ever received the memorable chance to watch an NBA game live in the arena, you would be well-accustomed to the dance by cheerleaders, the kiss cam, or the ‘Celebrity Look-Alike’ cam that the host team brings out to prevent fans from getting bored during games. More often than not, these halftimes have hosted events that also offer selected fans the chance to win big money. Everyone remembers Don Calhoun’s shot from the free-throw line at the opposite end of the court that (eventually) earned him a $1 million prize. While a Pacers fan did not recently walk away with that much money, he still made history.
During half-time of Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, a fan was selected to participate in a round of ‘Deal or No Deal.’ The game show that became famous for using 26 cases of randomly assigned sums of money hardly makes use of skills. In the end, it is all about luck. The fan in question got really lucky, as he walked away with $10,000. According to NBA reporter Scott Agnes, it is the largest single-game winner he can remember anyone winning at a Pacers home game. Seems like that fan got more than a full refund on his ticket for Game 3.
Deal or No Deal *supercharged* for the NBA Finals.
Fan just won $10,000 — the largest single-game winner I can remember at a Pacers home game.
