Odds On Promotions Writes Check for $100,000

Orlando, Fla. – If you buy season tickets for the Orlando Solar Bears, you might just end up on SportsCenter. At least that’s what happened to our latest hockey contest winner, Nick Giovanelli.

This season, during the hockey team’s 35 home games, the Orlando Solar Bears ran a “Spin to Win” promotion to reward their loyal season ticket holders.

During each home game, 20 lucky season ticketholders were randomly selected to come down to center ice, one of whom was selected to take a shot on goal for a chance to win a small, self-insured sponsor prize.

As a finale to the season-long promotion, the Solar Bears invited back the 35 finalists and randomly selected one lucky grand prize finalist, Giovanelli, to shoot for $100,000, to be paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Sporting a Defend the Den tee-shirt, Giovanelli took to the ice, and made an unforgettable shot from the opposite blue line, sending the puck squarely through a template placed across the goal.

As you can imagine, the crowd went wild when Giovanelli won the big bucks. And if that wasn’t enough, he found himself number one on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top Ten.

Watch Giovanelli’s incredible shot and the resulting press coverage for yourself.
