Broncos Have Winning Football Fan Appreciation Promo

Denver, Colorado – This past season, during halftime at their annual Fan Appreciation Game, the Denver Broncos gave eight lucky fans the chance to win a $60,000 Ford F-150, paid for by Odds On Promotions! 

To participate in the contest, fans visited the team’s website and registered for a chance to be one of the eight semi-finalists to enjoy the amazing experience of being on the field at halftime and get a chance to win a variety of prizes including gift cards, team store credit, a flatscreen tv and of course the biggest prize of all, the chance to win a Ford F-150. 

At halftime, each semi-finalist selected a “suitcase” out of 22 on display. Each case held a Lucky Envelope containing a prize – one of which was the chance to be a lucky finalist that would get to pick from 12 other cases – one of which held the grand prize – the brand new truck!  While there was not a grand prize winner, it did ensure a priceless gameday experience for all of the fans who were selected to participate.

Watch Basketball Fan Make 94-Ft. Putt for a New Car

Newport, Ky. – Congratulations to Bradley Wolfzorn, who won a two-year lease on a new car from Jake Sweeney Automotive, paid for by Odds On Promotions, after sinking an impressive 94-foot, on-court putt at a Northern Kentucky University men’s basketball game in December. 

Wolfzorn putting

The on-court putting contest, which is sponsored by Barleycorn’s, gives a randomly selected fan the chance to make a 94-foot putt to score a new ride.

After Wolfzorn was randomly selected at the game, he hit an impressive, fast-moving putt that flew across the BB&T Arena hardwood and through a template placed on the farside of the court.  

“The hardwood is so much faster than an actual green, so everything must be in perfect alignment to sink it,” said Joe Heil, Barleycorn’s vice president of operations and longtime NKU Norse basketball sponsor. “This putt had the speed and the accuracy. It was thrilling to watch!”  

This was the second winner for NKU and Barleycorn’s insured by Odds On Promotions. Michael Meier of Edgewood, Kentucky won $5,000 for a 94-footer in February of 2020.
