“I knew I couldn't do it, but (Silver) was next to me, and he said he could, so we decided to split it,” Sessions said.
Silver arrived on set at 6pm on Friday and was waiting for this moment. McAfee asked Silver why he thought he could kick.
Silver said confidently, “I've kicked a ball before. I've played soccer all my life. I think I can do it.”
Sessions and Silver decided to split the prize money, so McAfee increased the prize money by making the kick worth $200,000, giving each student $100,000 if Silver completed the kick.
Additionally, if Silver makes a 33-yard field goal, McAfee will donate $200,000 to Hurricane relief.

Are you ready for silver?
“of course.”
To put even more pressure on Silver, who was in line, McAfee decided to double the prize money to $200,000 each for Silver and Sessions, and $400,000 for Hurricane Relief. But the only catch was that there was only one kick.
Over the past few weeks, McAfee has given lottery winners a second chance to make the kick. Silver had a chance to win a total of $800,000.
No pressure, right?
Wrong. Silver wasn't lying when he told Sessions he could make field goals.
Silver pushed the ball perfectly into the middle of the uprights with enough distance, and once the ball left Silver's right foot, it was definitely good.
