It has become such a popular competition that it may one day qualify as an Olympic sport. What we’re talking about, of course, is Courts Catch the Cash.

Anthony Flowers and Christina Velasquez have already collected ten thousand and five thousand dollars respectively, as winners in the Courts monthly draws. Today they were back at the store to grab the balance of their winnings in Courts “Catch the Cash” promotion.

“Customers are actuallyeager to get into the booth. Some people have strategies they’re practising. This lady from San Ignacio…I wish you were here to hear her reaction on the phone when we called her; she was most excited.”
That excitement was still very much present. Velasquez, who had the opportunity to catch up to five thousand dollars in the booth, tried hard to not let her nervousness interfere with her concentration.
