How A Gamer Lost A $50,000 Car

Originally posted by jalopnik.com
An attendee at this year's QuakeCon gaming festival in Dallas sold one of the 100 raffle tickets for a $48,645 Shelby GT500 for just $200. Moments later they drew it as the winning ticket. Video with predictably NSFW language.

At least he was civil about it, and the announcer was good about shooing him off the stage. A deals a deal, but sucks to be him.

Bad enough that the guy sold the ticket.

Even worse is the fact he sold it for less than half of face value. Duh...

Weeeeeeeelp, that'll teach him! That's all I can say.

It's just that kind of suck luck where like...you play the lottery consistently with the same numbers, then you miss a week and those numbers show up.

The guy must have been drunk to do have done something this asinine, either that or he didn't know the ticket would win. Take your pick.

Talk about bad luck for the guy in the hat. Great luck for Mr. Clean though.

Funny overall. If it were me, I would have never sold the ticket.

I would be pissed, but had it been a Camaro that I missed out on... I would kill someone. Well, I wouldn't have sold the ticket in the first place.

We actually just watched Let's Make a Deal where the lady took $2,000 instead of her main prize which was a $36,000 SS Camaro.
