Sometimes the lack of business knowledge of so many people befuddles me. How the fuck do some of you make it through life?
ESPN won't pay him a dime. When a contest like this is put on ESPN buys an insurance policy on the contest and pays a nominal amount for it. It is the EXACT same deal when a car is up for a hole in one prize. The company that ESPN contracted with for the policy pays the person.

Many people who won the lottery or money like this lost their lives and are way worse off. So be careful what you wish for...
How about the lady in Vegas awhile back who hit MegaBucks, then got into a car accident the next... i think it killed her...
Tis the season to be happy with what you have!

Why would ESPN try to hold this guys money if he followed the rules?
Do you know why they have rules so you can't try and cheat the system, do you get it.
Do you also understand how ESPN makes money on this promo. Let me give you a hint it's called advertising. They'll make back many times over for this 1 million dollar promo.
Enough said.
Hey idiot he's getting paid the million! See interview on ESPN streak for cash
Go to ESPN streak for cash to see his interview on how he won the million. Seems like a nice guy. Good for him!
With the Pittsburgh Steelers' 20-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys, Samuel Louis-Charles of North Miami Beach, Fla., has reached 25 straight wins in ESPN's Streak For The Cash game.
The pick was worth $1 million for the 31-year-old package handler.
The victory didn't come easily for Louis-Charles, who registered himself as Bigsam1122. The Steelers trailed the Cowboys for much of the game and were in trouble late. But Pittsburgh came storming back, outscoring Dallas 17-0 in the last seven minutes of the game. Deshea Townsend's interception return for a 25-yard touchdown capped the comeback.
Louis-Charles, who grew up in Brooklyn, worked methodically. He won his 23rd straight game on Nov. 24, and got his 24th win last Sunday when Tampa Bay beat New Orleans 23-20 on a field goal in the final two minutes.
<!-- start sidebar table -->
<!-- end sidebar table -->He was able to wait for the right opportunity as several players with streaks in the low 20s lost games within the past week.
"Once I got close, it was all about patience," Louis-Charles said on Monday. "I really slowed down, listened to everything out there, tried to balance all the different opinions, and then go with my gut."
Louis-Charles' 24-pick streak began with a Tampa Bay Rays victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 2 of the World Series. Since then, Bigsam1122's wins have come exclusively on college football, NFL and NBA action.
Ironically, he started the Streak For The Cash game with five straight losses.

Earlier in the contest, two other players got to 24 wins, but failed in their attempt to win the 25th.
The streak game isn't over, however. There is still the $10,000 prize for the longest overall streak before Dec. 31.

straight up.
They limit certain big games each week that could go either way.
This guy was on Mike and Mike and was shown with his sister, holding a life size check for one million.
