 DeadBrain Time Machine: Vegas Man Hits Demi/Bush/Britney TrifectaMay 28 2005 by R.C. Johnson
May 31, 2007 - When Maurice Blacka attended the grand opening of the Wynn Vegas Casino Resort on April 27, 2005, he figured he would take in the spectacle of a Vegas Grand Opening. Two years later, thanks to a publicity stunt run by the casino that evening, Blacka will be taking in a cool million dollars.With the announcement of a recording contract for Britney II, two-year old daughter of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, Blacka correctly picked the "Hollywood Trifecta." The Hollywood Trifecta was gimmick the Wynn Sportsbook used to bring in non-sports fans. The Sportsbook offered a list of 45 different Hollywood-themed events or occurrences to bettors. Bettors selected three events from the list. Each of the events had to occur before the 2008 Presidential Election and the bettors had to select the correct order for the events. "We never expected for this thing to work," claimed Sportsbook manager Benjamin Dover. "We thought it would be fun for people to come in and laugh at the list. Really, we were hoping they'd place a bet on baseball or basketball while they were here." The list to which Dover refers was the brainchild of himself and casino magnate Steve Wynn. Events bettors could select included: Blacka, along with roughly a thousand other bettors, took up Dover and Wynn's challenge. Each bettor placed a dollar bet in hopes of winning the offered million dollars. "I've been very lucky these past few years," confessed Blacka, a waste management facilitator. "I didn't even think much about the bet until President Bush announced the annexation of Jamaica. When that happened, I remembered the bet and scrambled to find the ticket. Thankfully, I put it with my Taco Bell receipts, so it was safe." Blacka's first correct prediction was Demi Moore's disposal of Ashton Kutcher for Haley Joel Osment. "I'm just stunned," said Blacka. "Hopefully I can use this money for good instead of evil." Get DeadBrain delivered to your Inbox! Click here to sign up at our parent site.
