He gives them clues of four locations where he has stashed the money, and all who hear him take off in search of the money. As a promotion for the film, sponsors offered $1 million to the first person to correctly spot where the money is located. There were over 300,000 entrants, and 15-year-old Alesia Jones won the prize.
