Basketball Promotion: $25K Football Target Throw

Wondering what a football has to do with a basketball promotion? Read on to find out…

Looking to run a more creative basketball promotion at your next game? One university in the Northern U.S., recently teamed up with a local appliance store to sponsor a football target toss promotion during a basketball game- generating big excitement among the school’s devoted fans!

A week prior to game day, fans had the opportunity to register online for a chance to have dinner with one of this university’s former Heisman Trophy winners, as well as score a pair of tickets to the big game!

Another lucky fan, also chosen via random online registration, received a big dollar opportunity: the chance to throw a football 25 yards through a target template placed in the middle of the basketball arena! If the lucky fan made it, the contestant would have been a $25,000 winner, and Odds On would have cut a check for the prize.

While unfortunately, there was no grand prize winner, a good time was still had by all and the fans in the stands couldn’t have been more excited to see one of their fellow supporters being given the chance to win big, compliments of Odds On Promotions!

A Million Dollar Watch and Win Promotion

Looking to engage more viewers during Spring Sweeps? A watch and win promotion is surefire way to get viewers tuning in …

Raycom Media recently gave viewers across the country the chance to win up to $1,000,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions, for tuning daily to watch America Now.

In order to get their chance to win the big bucks, viewers need to watch the show in order to find out the “Play Code of the Day”.

After receiving the daily code, viewers headed over to the website, AmericaNowNews.com, and entered the contest using their email address and the “Play Code”, after which they received a confirmation email.

At the conclusion of this multi-day watch & win contest, one lucky contestant was selected from all of the registered contestants, and given the chance to win $1,000,000 playing Odds On’s Pick Til’ You Win Lucky Envelopes promotion.

Judy Dunn from Huntsville, Alabama, was the lucky finalist selected from over 40,000 registered participants (and one of 425 from Huntsville). Dunn was then invited to her local station and presented with 40 of Odds On’s “Lucky Envelopes”, each of which contained one of three prize symbols ($750, $1,000 and $1,000,000). Judy then selected and opened envelopes until she had five matching symbols, winning the indicated prize of $750.00.

Watch and Win Promotions Made Easy…

While Raycom Media opted to give their finalist the chance to win a $1,000,000 insured prize using an end-of-promotion Lucky Envelopes contest at a local station, a watch and win promotion like this can easily be run entirely online, or it can be structured as a sweepstakes, where tuning in daily gives your audience members the chance to win a daily, weekly or end of promotion guaranteed prize, sponsored by a participating advertiser.

If you’d like to learn more about this promotion, or about running your own online watch to win promotion, email or give me a call today at 888-827-2249.
