Odds On Insures $250K Football Contest at the El Toro Bowl!

The El Toro Bowl is back! On behalf of Time Warner Cable, title sponsor of El Toro Bowl in Yuma, Arizona, PRIMETIME Sports is coordinating  the “Go Long Challenge”, a half-time promotion during the National Junior College Football Final on December 3, 2011 where a lucky fan will get the chance to win $250K, paid for by Odds On Promotions.

After being on hiatus since 1972, the El Toro Bowl is up and running once again!  A premier NJCAA bowl game in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the El Toro Bowl will host the NJCAA National Championship game between the Arizona Western College Matadors and the East Mississippi Community College Lions on December 3.  And what game it promises to be! This is the second matchup between these two programs.  While this will be EMCC’s first ever national championship game,  EMCC defeated AWC 27-14 in the 2009 Mississippi Bowl, what’s more, AWC is seeking their second national championship in three appearances and the last time the Matadors claimed the title it was at the last El Toro Bowl!

While the on-field fireworks are sure to please the crowds, before the start of the game, Time Warner Cable will welcome fans with free giveaways and raffles for all of those who attend.  What’s more, during the game, one lucky fan  will be randomly selected to throw a football through a target for a chance at winning $250,000, courtesy of Time Warner Cable and paid for by Odds On Promotions!

Win Big: Man Scores $100,000 In Football Promotion; Odds On Promotions Writes The Check

Northville, MI – Every Friday and Saturday night at Northville Downs Racetrack from September through November, one lucky individual was chosen to participate in one of two promotions that Odds On Promotions was insuring.

The first promotion, which took place every Friday evening, was the $100K Poker Deal, where contestants had the opportunity to choose 5 cards from Odds On’s custom game board in attempt to obtain a Royal Flush in hopes of becoming an instant $100,000 winner, or score other great cash prizes including $25,000 for a 4 of a Kind and $1,000 for a Full House!

The second insured prize contest, Plays That Pay, was a “Pick 4”  envelope game that took place every Saturday. Each lucky envelope on the game board contained a football yardage.  If the 4 envelopes total yardage values added up to exactly 100 yards, the contestant would win $100,000, paid for by Odds On!  But that’s not all: if a contestant chose 4 envelopes which added up to 95 yards, $25,000 would be awarded… and 90 yards paid out $1,000.

Odds On is excited to announce that on Saturday, October 29, Chris Rogers of South Lyon, MI  hit the jackpot when he got to participate in Plays That Pay.  Rogers chose 4 envelopes (30, 25, 25, and 20 yards respectively) … which added up to 100 yards – winning him the $100,000 grand prize!

Congratulations, to our October Big Winner  — we hope you’re enjoying your newfound earnings!
