I would have to think they are guaranteed to make at least $9 million or there would be some sort of fraud/fraud in the inducement liability. It would depend on how they officially market it, I suppose; i.e. are the playing for "up to" $9 million, "exactly" $9 million or "at least" $9 million?

The money here, as you state above, is a material inducement for the players, but it's also a material inducement for the consumer. If the public was told that they were simply playing a $10 Nassau with $5 dots and $2 snakes, I think it's safe to assume the level of interest would be significantly lower than it is currently.

If the TBT ultimately cut a check to the winners for less than the promoted $2 million because revenues disappointed, they'd be in a lot of trouble I believe. If Phil or Tiger ultimately walked away with well less than the promoted amount, the public would feel duped.

On a side note, I guess it would be very hard for the interested parties to insure this event given the lack of precedence.
