Lawn care company MyTruGreen­Lawn is offering one lucky winner the rare chance to get paid to play cornhole. $1,000 is up for grabs for the chosen applicant, who must document their experience.

According to the company’s website, cornhole supposedly got its origins when a 14th-century carpenter saw children throwing rocks into a groundhog’s hole. After that, he crafted a wooden cornhole board and replaced rocks with corn-filled canvas sacks.

Modern-day players still enjoy a game that is largely unchanged from its inception centuries ago. MyTruGreen­Lawn is incentiviz­ing cornhole enthusiast­s to spend time in their yard while participat­ing in friendly competitio­n.

The ideal candidate for this offer is “anyone with cornhole equipment and a willingnes­s to play.” Applicants, who must be 18 years or older, should also have an enthusiasm for cornhole, a “strong sense of play,” enjoyment of the outdoors and the ability to socially distance while playing.

Candidates must respond about their cornhole skill level and answer the question: “Why should we choose you to get paid to play cornhole?” Applicatio­ns must be received by 5 p.m. EST April 2. The selected winner will be notified by April 7.

One selected winner will need to play cornhole on at least five separate days and complete a worksheet for each round played. These must be completed by April 30.
