Four Ashkelon residents win 500,000 shekels and must spend it within 24 hours
Four friends from Ashkelon — Omer Mendelson, Ilai Ganon, Gaya Cohen and Lider Alber — won 500,000 shekels in an unusual contest. They have 24 hours to spend the money.
To reach the final, participants had to complete many challenges: assembling puzzles, searching for coins in a dirty pool and even grating hundreds of bananas. Two teams made it to the final, and the Ashkelon team won.
The winners now have just 24 hours to spend the prize money. Their plans include a private jet to Monaco, luxury cars, a yacht, a hotel with a personal chef and a parachute jump straight into a party.
