Check out this video in which Alex Permann thought that he won $50,000 when he sank a half court shot during a contest before the Missouri Valley title game on Sunday afternoon.  The problem is that Alex didn't follow the rules of the game.

He was supposed to make a lay-up, then a free throw, then a 3 pointer, and finally the half court shot.  Alex did all of them except the 3 point shot.  He spaced out and totaly forgot to even attempt the 3 pt shot even though the PA announcer told him to do it.

See kids, that's what happens when you don't follow direction.
