Joliet Casino: Sink Half-Court Shot, Win $10,000

WJOL's Scott Slocum will also take his best shot for the chance to win money for charity.

Think you can sink a basketball from half court? 

Four lucky fans will get the chance to do just that inside Hollywood Casino's pavilion during the NCAA National Championship game on Monday, April 7.

Four guests will be randomly chosen to try to make the shot for a $10,000 prize — and they won't be the only ones trying to sink a shot for money.

Hollywood Casino, 777 Hollywood Blvd., has invited WJOL's Scott Slocum, a basketball fanatic and former player, to attempt a shot for charity. If he makes it, he'll earn $2,500 for a good cause. 

Basketball fans just need to fill out an entry ticket once they arrive at Hollywood Casino for the chance to participate in the $10,000 half-court shot. Four guests will be chosen at random to take their best shot.
