Monster Million Pound Payout For Biggest Ever Nessie Hunt

The largest ever organised attempt to prove the existence of the Loch Ness Monster will take place next weekend when up to 50,000 people are supplied with thousands of cameras and offered a £1 Million incentive by bookmakers William Hill to find evidence which will finally persuade the Natural History Museum to admit that Nessie is flesh (or perhaps fish) and blood and not a myth.

William Hill have teamed up with the organisers of Rock Ness music festival, which runs on the banks of Loch Ness from June 9th to 10th in an effort to produce proof of the existence of Nessie. The bookies have put up a Nessie Reward of £1 Million to anyone who can convince experts at the Natural History Museum that Nessie exists –but are offering odds of 250/1 about it happening in 2007.

"We are hoping the one Million pound bounty will help to solve one of the great enigmas of modern times. This is a great opportunity with such huge crowds on the shores of Loch Ness and it will be fantastic if someone can get a picture with one of the thousands of Nessie-Snappers cameras we are handing out, that can rival the 'Surgeon’s photograph', which is still the most recognised despite being taken over fifty years ago," said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

There is some evidence that Nessie is a music lover and the festival will hopefully lure Nessie to the surface but should she prove her elusive self William Hill's are offering a number of consolation prizes including £1000 and a free £250 bet for the best photographic evidence real or staged.

To qualify for the Million Pound Bounty all evidence must be gathered over the weekend of the 9th-10th of June and must be submitted to William Hill prior to High Noon Monday 18th June.
