It took thirty seconds and good aim for a local teen to win $100K.
Josh Dawson, of Forked River, got an opportunity to compete in the Dr. Pepper Tuition Throw, after entering an online contest.
Dawson, who is studying education, is a first year student at Ocean County Community College in Toms River. After getting his associate degree, he plans to transfer to a 4 year school.
"I've always wanted to help kids and make an impact in the world," Dawson said.
In his submission video, Dawson says he was severely bullied in the 8th grade. He now has plans to make an impact on kids, by becoming a teacher.
"I want to show kids that school is a fun place to go and a safe place to learn," he said in his submission video.
The throw took place during Saturday's AC Championship game in Charlotte.
