The Chicago Blackhawks and the Illinois Lottery teamed up to provide fans with a Lucky Seat contest to win $1 Million Dollars.
Their first call was to CGA Hole-In-One & Promotions. During the middle of the 1st period a seat number was randomly chosen. Then, during the 2nd period, if any Blackhawks player scored a goal at exactly the 10 minute mark, the randomly chosen contestant (seat) won $1 Million!
With the Hawks trailing 3-0 in the second period on January 19, game 44, against the Minnesota Wild. A loose puck found Hawks player Martin Havlat in front of the Wild goal and he fired his 15th goal of the season. The clock read 10:00 and Cary Stolarczyk was a million dollars richer.
