[MCS]

I don't know if you all remember the discussion about kicking field goals for money, but a Canadian fan just hit one from FIFTY YARDS for $1,000,000.

Millionaire, eh?

How do you miss from 20, 30, and 40 yards, then make it from 50?

Assuming an interest rate of r=.1:

(25000/.1)*(1-1/((1+.1)^40))=$244,476.30

awesome, even with a more realistic r, the guy isn't getting near a million; plus taking away taxes, he's getting next to nothing.

I'd assume it's Canadian, since it was a CFL game.

20 yd FG - $1,000
30 yd FG - Sony Digital Imaging Package
40 yd FG SONY HD Home Theatre Package
50 yd FG - $1,000,000

The guy was an avid soccer player, so he had that going for him.
