Carson, CA -- Cal State Dominguez Hills' Office of Student Life (OSL) will be sponsoring a “$10,000 Shootout” during halftime of the February 3 men's basketball game. Five lucky fans will have a chance to make three baskets in a period of 25 seconds and hopefully, one will win $10,000.00.

Random drawings will take place at the men and women's basketball games on February 3 when the Toros take on the Seawolves of Sonoma State. The entire event will be filmed by the OSL to ensure authenticity in the event one lucky fan makes all four shots.

CSUDH students, faculty and staff can earn and collect “Shootout” entry tickets from four different locales on campus beginning Monday, January 23, with Student Life, ASI, and athletic events providing the opportunity to collect numerous entry tickets. Look for notices from these sites, including the Office of Student Life, Associated Students Incorporated, the Multi-Cultural Center and the Athletics Office, for your chance at the “$10,000 Shootout”! Tickets will be available at all CSUDH men and women's home basketball games, and during Toro Days from January 30-February 3, 2006.

Tickets will be drawn randomly once the women's game begins, with the final of five selections to take place right before halftime of the men's contest. Once all five participants are selected, all of whom must be in attendance to participate, each will get an opportunity to make a lay-up (one dribble minimum), a free throw and an NCAA 3-pointer, all while collecting their own ball during the 25-second time frame. If successful, they will win the $10,000 prize.
