Environmental Graffiti

Wheeling Island Racetrack and Casino has taken the plunge, deciding that in this time of 4.00 gasoline and an economic recession, it would have better luck offering a jackpot of gasoline than cash.

Of course, this is a casino–so it’s not going to be anything reasonable. The gas comes in a tanker truck, all 9,000 gallons of it.

How, exactly, does one go about winning enough gasoline that you could drive around the world 22 times? The release to the AP claims that you can ‘earn entires’ to the grand prize drawing this Friday or next–doubtless meaning that you’ll have to hit a superfecta (or whatever you call it in greyhound racing) and THEN enter a drawing.

This tanker, or the equivalent in gift cards (tell me that’s not an impressive stack) isn’t going anywhere, most likely.
