Wow, that’s commitment. Jody Powell, 35, competed against 20 other contestants for a shot at winning tickets to the sold out “Hannah Montana” concert in Tampa. They each placed a hand on a 400-pound statue at radio station WFLZ-FM – last one standing earned the tickets. They were given 12-minute breaks every three hours and were fed, but not allowed iPods, cell phones or books.

In the end, it was Powell who (after six days) won tickets for his fiancée and her 7-year-old daughter, Hannah. He and the runner-up made a deal during the competition and Powell split the win, giving the second-to-last standing participant half of the $5,000 cash prize and two backstage passes.
