Contestant makes $50 000 Shot!

Richard Marsh had been challenged to shoot a puck through a tiny hole in a cardboard cut-out over the goal at the Pepsi Coliseum in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Before attempting the shot Mr Marsh decided to donate the potential winnings to St. Vincent's Cardiovascular and the American Heart Association.

Mr Marsh then stepped up and fired his effort the length of the ice, through the bottom of the cardboard cut-out and into the net.

However, his success was later ruled to be void because he was standing in front of the designated starting line.

The money would have been donated by insurance company Allstate as part of a special "Hockey for Heart" night sponsored by St. Vincent Heart Center of Indiana, and hosted by the USHL's Indiana Ice.

But the USHL stated that due to Mr Marsh's starting position, the company voided the award due to him "standing in the wrong place".

Later, the Indiana Ice owners, Paul and Cindy Skjodt, made an undisclosed donation to the charities in recognition of Mr Marsh's accomplishment.

And another (maybe it was even the same) insurance company just voided another $50,000 shot because the identical twin made the shot instead of the actual person. I mean come on man! By federal law identical twins should be allowed to pose as each other, and reap the benefits.
