Like most everyone else in the Evansville area, I have been keeping an eye on the 98th Annual West Side Nut Club Fall Festival and their first ever Half Pot. Earlier in the week, around 3pm on Tuesday, the pot was a respectable $33k. By the same time on Wednesday it had grown by 200% and was sitting at a cool $93k. Thursday night, the pot had creeped up past $160k and earlier today, October 11th, the half pot made headlines for breaking the Half Million Dollar mark. As of this writing, October 11th at 5:08pm, the pot is now inching toward the 3/4 of a Million dollar mark. It is currently, $726,425. The Nut Club is selling tickets through tonight and then again tomorrow until 2pm. I have a strong suspicion that this may hit the $1 million mark before it's all said and done. For now, I guess we'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, I need to go buy a half pot ticket...
