“We threw the coin and amazingly it rolled under the curtain as we jumped up. I said ‘Just remember if it is on its side it doesn’t count,’ because we could not see it. So of course, he lifted the corner of the curtain and it was flat; it had rolled off the side of the curtain and onto the floor. It was absolutely clear-cut flat, and I won. It wasn’t until I was driving away that I remembered this was a 3 year contract and so it was in fact $1.5 million that we had thrown a coin for. I doubt anyone has tossed a coin for $1.5m before.”
