The contest runs from April 1, 2004 until December 31, 2004
Every player must put $10 into the jackpot
Pick 3 celebrities
A celebrity is defined here as someone noteworthy that you would hear about when they die. For example, the Pope is a celebrity. The drummer from Matchbox Twenty is not.
Politicians are acceptable, but they also must be well known. Bill Clinton is acceptable, the democratic senator from Wichita is not. Just use common sense.
You cannot pick someone who has already been picked.
When a person on your list dies, the amount of points you get is 100 - age. So if your person is 80, you'd get 20 points.
