Here are some facts about the Lamborghini Gallardo...

It costs £200,000. It has a 520 brakehorse power V10 engine and packs 376lb ft of torque. It has a top speed of 196 miles-per-hour and can go from 0-62mph in just 3.9 seconds. It was the Top Gear car of the Year last year.

Oh, and it could be yours. For free.

Yep, Pokerstars have gone mad. Not a little bit crazy, but full-on Richard Pryor meets Jacko bonkers.

The world's biggest poker site has launched a Lamborghini freeroll promotion aimed at American players who can't play with real money because of the UIGEA.

There will be a $1.35m prizepool as a series of daily freerolls allow players to qualify for nine weekly finals, each with $100,000 added to the prize pool.

The top 2,000 players from each weekly final will progress to the Grand Final, where players will battle for a $250,000 prizepool.

The top 5,000 players at the Grand Final will each receive a share of the quarter of a million dollars and the winner will also receive the Lamborghini.

Satellites start tomorrow and run until September 25 with weekly finals throughout August and September. Qualifiers will then contest the Grand Final, which will be held on October 3rd.
