After an unsuccessful attempt to raise money from a carwash with his comrades, Gordon realizes that there is a ray of hope, a dodge ball tournament offering a $50,000 CASH prize; the advertisement for the competition in Gordon’s magazine even states in bold letters that the prize would be in cash, and is verbalized as well. At the end of the movie they are presented with a large CHEQUE for $50,000. Not important to the plot, but very noticeable.
