As far as Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is concerned, Super Bowl XLVIII was extremely entertaining despite the Seattle Seahawks' blowout of the Denver Broncos.
That's because the billionaire spiced it up a bit with an off-the-cuff social media experiment after the Seahawks scored a safety on the game's first snap, claiming in a tweet that he'd won $20 million after getting a million-to-one odds on that happening from a Las Vegas casino.
Cuban's motivation for the false claim? It was a "prank for my own motivation" and an experiment to see if he could make a tweet go viral on Twitter's most popular night.
"Just because I could," Cuban said. "I said to my wife when that happened, 'Watch this, I'm going to make Twitter go nuts.' She was like, 'Don't do it!' I said, 'I've got to do it,' so I did it."
