INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is giving away a BMW, but it’ll take many lucky guesses to win.
Irsay, known for his antics and giveaways on Twitter, began tweeting over the weekend about the contest. It took a series of tweets to explain all the rules. To win the BMW, Irsay explains, someone must guess all first round picks in the NFL draft, which begins Thursday.
Now,let's talk about this NFL Draft BMW contest! At some point in the next week and a half,there will be an 8 hour window to put ur guess in

Then and only then,you'll have 1 chance to guess the 1st round picks,number and player only,not team..to avoid the impossibility of trades

You'll need 3 or 4 tweets to convey your guess,use abbreviations but be clear on players name,1 guess only and Abbys hatpick to break ties

Irsay goes on to say if someone wins, they’ll go through a photo session with whoever the Colts take first in the draft and get to pick their car color.
Winner will be brought in for photo session and red carpet picking of car color and picture with Colts #1 pick! Good Luck!!!

The Colts owner asked people on Twitter what they think the chance is that someone will guess correctly. Most responded with an extremely low percentage. Irsay though? He guessed 24 percent odds that someone would guess correctly.
Will there be a winner...the odds are 24% yes...what do you think is % chance of winner of this contest?
