Jimmy Miller won a field goal-kicking contest sponsored by 97.9 FM The Loop outside the United Center in Chicago and the Long Grove resident added to his family's ticket numbers.
The Carmel sophomore booted 60 consecutive 19-yard field goals, outdistancing other contestants and winning the two tickets given out by Loop morning man Jonathan Brandmeier.
