Odds On’s Sister Company Has Million Dollar Shootout Winner

Congratulations to Million Dollar Shootout winner Ted A., who won a $1,000,000 prize courtesy of The Founders Club, LLC, and paid for by Odds On Promotions’ sister company, Hole In One International.

Ted won the million-dollar prize after he and three other golfers all qualified to participate in a post-outing shootout event. But, what makes this story even more incredible, is that 3 of the 4 participants qualified for the shootout by making a hole in one, when getting closest to the pin would have cut it. Watch the congratulatory winner video.

Million Dollar Shootout Winner - Ted

According to Pine Hills Country Club policy, when a member in the Hole In One Club makes an ace, the country club hosts an outing and a dinner to recognize the acemaker’s achievement.

This past September, during such a recognition outing, Reed Schmidt of The Founders Club, LLC sponsored a million-dollar shootout contest.

Outing participants could qualify for the million dollar shootout by getting closest to the pin on a designated par 3. As it turns out, a truly unbelievable total of three players qualified by making a hole in one, while Tom qualified with closest to the pin.

But, the story doesn’t end there… when it came time for the big bucks, Ted who has a 7.1 handicap, hit another hole in one during the actual shootout event… leading to the 4th ace of the day – and better still – scoring the million dollar prize.

Baseball Promotion Pays Off for Casino Property

Burlington, IA – Congratulations to Kendra Huff of Danville who recently won $10,000, courtesy of Catfish Bend Casino and paid for by Odds On Promotions in a baseball promotion.

Baseball promotion at casino

For the last three years, Catfish Bend Casino has been sponsoring a Home Run baseball promotion for the Burlington Bees baseball team where if any player hits a ball through a 48-inch hole in the Catfish Bend Casino sign in left field – a randomly selected fan wins $10,000. Watch the congratulatory winner video.

For a chance to win the big bucks, fans complete a registration form prior to start of the game. The team then randomly draws a registration form prior to the first pitch of the first inning. If any Bee’s player hits it into the “homer hole” sign, the pre-selected fan takes home the cash.

During the first inning of the game on April 9th, right fielder Spencer Griffin hit a two out solo home run that soared directly through the casino’s promotional signage, giving Huff a giant cash windfall, courtesy of Catfish Bend Casino.
