These contest are meant for entertainment and if a contestant wishes to abandon the prize it will be up to them to return to the club to pick it up. After operating night venues for many years I have yet to see such a spectacle made for $75. It seems obvious to me that you should leave with the prize that night. Perhaps attention seekers in general crave the spotlight of creating that very spectacle? This may be just the way they fullfill their need to get noticed. (Like performing acts like dismembering barbie dolls with power tools.)

They make 300 times that per bottle of booze they sell but can't pay out the prize money. Sad, sad, sad. Did get $75 from a bar.
