Fantasy Football. Grand Prize: $1 Million
DeAngelo Williams is a nice running back who plays for the Carolina Panthers. He also made a Colorado youth corrections officer a millionaire. With an assist from Williams' strong play near the end of the season, Shane Schroeder, 31, in December took home the first $1,000,000 fantasy football prize. The Fantasy Football Open Championship is now signing up entrants for the 2009 season: you can get in for as little as $75, but paying $275 for a team improves your odds of bagging the grand prize. Might just be worth a Hail Mary.
