WHAT IS NEW YORK?
According to it 2011 statistics, out of a population of over 8 million people in New York City, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles says that only 11,210,784 have drivers licenses. In the rest of New York, there are 7,860,550 licensed drivers out of a population of over 11 million.
The Federal Highway Administration says that Indiana has the most licensed drivers per 1,000 residents.
Chris bet $1,000. He finished with $7,200.
Ron bet $2,401, finishing with $12,401.
Stephanie bet $100 so she finished with $12,700 and won the game.
Pretty wild when you think either Chris and Ron could have totally won if they had made large bets! However, Stephanie played very well and that would have been the real pity.
