Pak-Australia series: $75,000 up for grabs

BRISBANE: The Australian Cricket Board (ACB) on Tuesday released details of the TOWER Ton, a promotion that provides cricket fans attending TOWER Super Challenge-II between Pakistan and Australia with the chance to share in $75,000 cash.

A $25,000 prize will be up for grabs at all three matches of the series, if either of the following events occur: If a bowler from either team delivers a legal ball at, or exceeding 100mph (160.9km); or if any batsman scores 100 runs from 100 deliveries or less. 

The TOWER Ton will work in the following manner: At the second drinks break of the first innings, 10 seat numbers selected randomly by a computer, will be displayed on the replay screen. The 10 patrons will be invited onto the field during the innings break, where another draw will take place to select one contestant eligible to win the jackpot. Ten cricket balls will be placed in separate boxes on a table in the middle of the ground. Each patron will be asked to select a box. Nine boxes will contain Kanga cricket balls. One box will contain a white cricket ball. The patron who selects the box containing the white ball will be eligible to win the $25,000 prize.

If the prize money is activated in the first innings, the $25,000 cheque will be presented during the innings break. If the prize money is activated in the second innings, the $25,000 cheque will be presented at the end of the match. The prize money will only be available once during a match.

The $25,000 prize is available for all three matches, but will not double, or indeed triple if the money isn't awarded in matches one, two or three. 

The speed gun, supplied by industry experts IDS Sports is consistent with the speed measurement displayed on Channel Nine's television coverage. The prize money for the TOWER Ton has been made available by the series' principal sponsor, TOWER.
