Photo of the Day: It's Raining Orange Balls

This promotion for Grind Out Hunger is like a newfangled lottery.

Hundreds of people at Kaiser Permanente Arena get to shoot for baskets during the Santa Cruz Warriors games this season.

They buy little orange balls and in a moment of madness all throw at once to try to get their numbered balls into the cans on the court.

Winners get prizes and the charity raises around $1,000 a night....and has to clean the court quickly.

If you get your ball in the outside cans, you get a T-shirt. Land it in the middle and you get a skateboard or Warriors tickets.
