"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; For some Seahawks fans, Sunday's shutout win was especially profitable. (Elsa/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Seattle Seahawks' 23-0 win over the New York Giants made just about everybody in Washington state happy, but one car dealership in the state will have to fork over almost half a million dollars as a result of the game's unlikely outcome. The road shutout was the fifth the Seahawks have put up in the last 30 years, and the first regular-season goose egg at home for the Giants since 1995. Given the odds, it seemed reasonable for Jet Chevrolet, located south of Seattle in Federal Way, to put together a promotion that would net $35,000 for 12 different people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"This is crazy,\" said Jim Johnson, one of the dealership's owners, via ESPN. \"We never expected that we'd actually be giving away the money.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The dealership took out an insurance policy on the $420,000 giveaway, which cost Johnson and his partners approximately $7,000. Johnson said that the company originally wanted to have a drawing before last Sunday's Seahawks game against the San Francisco 49ers, but the legal and financial constraints could not be resolved in time. Seattle lost that game, 19-17.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Johnson and his partners had to open the drawing, which ran from Wednesday to Saturday, to everybody who entered, whether they bought a car from the dealership or not. Those who bought a car received 100 entries, and those who didn't had just one chance. Twenty people bought cars during the promotion, and 12 people entered without a purchase. The 12 lucky winners will be determined with a drawing on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Johnson said Sunday night that he's now looking for guidance from the insurance company regarding how to disperse the cash prizes to the winners.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"We're a car dealership, we're not used to doing something like this.\"\nAccording to ESPN's Darren Rovell, this isn't the first time a company has been on the hook for a prize giveaway after an NFL shutout. In 2006, the World Furniture Mann in Plano, Ill., covered about $300,000 in customer purchases as a promise after the Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers, 26-0, in the season opener. And in 1999, the Kansas City Chiefs' 34-0 shutout of the San Diego Chargers resulted in electronics dealer BrandsMart giving away about $425,000 in merchandise.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
