ESPN Streak For The Cash 2008 Winner!

For anyone who uses ESPN.com’s fantasy section for football, basketball, college, and so on should have heard of the ‘Streak For The Cash’ mini game ESPN has. A quick description of this game is each day you pick a sports match-up, either who will win, which running back will have more yards, point margin, and things along those lines. The ultimate goal is to get a “Streak” of 25 wins by December 31st. You can pick a few games per day, but only one at a time. Whoever can do this gets $1 Million from ESPN. 2nd best streak gets $10,000 and so on. Well, the magic number of 25 in a row has been touched by ‘Bigsam1122′ and he has won himself the money. His real name is Samuel Louis-Charles from Bristol, Conn. ESPN.com/fantasy has a photo of him with one of those oversized checks made out to him. Congrats to Samuel for winning. Now 2nd place is still up for grabs and I just checked and its at 19 and 18 for the following players. Also each month the person with the most wins within that month gets a nice cash prize. If you haven’t checked ESPN.con/fantasy out, go do so and maybe next year sign up for Streak For The Cash. Again congratulations to Bigsam1122 for getting 25, well it says 26 currently and getting that money.
