New York woman guesses 7,954 jellybeans in jar to bag $25k bounty!
April 10th, 2009 - 5:31 pm ICT by ANINew York, April 10 (ANI): Jessica Silverman from New York has won 25,000 dollars after guessing the exact number of jellybeans in a jar - 7,954.
However, it’s not the first time she’s successfully guessed how many jellybeans are in a jar.
When she was 5, she did just that and won a stuffed toy dragon.
Silverman says she’ll use her winnings to put a down payment on a new home.
Silverman says she entered the jellybean counting contest by chance at a booth set up by insurance firm DeWitt Stern at the Hilton New York Hotel.
“I’m a lucky girl, and I was in the right place at the right time. This is going to the ‘Get Jessica a first apartment’ fund,” the New York Daily News quoted Silverman as saying. (ANI)
