Tax Day Promotion $25K Winner

Quincy, Ill. – Congratulations to Tax Day promotion winner Karen Tripp who won $25,000, courtesy of Kunes Country Auto of Quincy, and paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Watch Tripp being awarded with the $25K check!

This April, to promote their Spring Savings Tax Time Tent Event, Kunes Country Auto of Quincy, working in conjunction with PERQ, sent a bar-coded direct mail piece featuring the chance to win a new car valued at $25,000, or $10,000 towards the purchase of any vehicle on the lot, both to be paid for by Odds On Promotions, as well as other enticing prizes provided by the dealership.

Each mailer featured a pull-tab component that indicated what prizes the recipient could win if they brought the barcoded mailer to be scanned at the “Tax Time” sale. Ironically, on April 15th, Tripp, who was considering going to another dealership to take a test drive, decided to go to the Kunes sales event to see if she had won. Once at the dealership, she spoke to a sales team member who scanned her mailer and informed her that she had not only won a prize, but she had won the $25,000 grand prize, insured by Odds On.

To be eligible to win the prize, the angler had to land the biggest Mako over 250 kg. Plummer, a member of the Lake Macquarie fishing club, did the job, despite some rather nasty weather, when he landed his monster 310 kg shark with 37 kg tackle, fishing on the boat Big Ed.

The Wollongong tournament is a one-day fishing shootout. A total of 17 boats participated.

Prize Insurance Winner Scores $15K During Pandemic

prize insurance winner brian johnstonDenver, PA – Think that because there is a pandemic, you need to slow down your marketing efforts? Think again! This April, prize insurance winner Brian Johnston of Denver won $15,000 courtesy of NextEra Home and paid for by Odds On Promotions, in a Home Appliance Makeover sweepstakes promotion administered by Cohen-Friedburg Associates, Inc (CFA).

The Sweepstakes was promoted via social media, and designed to bring attention to NextEra Home’s appliance and home warranty programs. After registering and completing a brief survey, contestants were entered for a chance to be the one lucky finalist who would select one envelope out of 100 Lucky Envelopes in order to win the $15,000 grand prize, insured by Odds On, or a $1,000 consolation prize courtesy of NextEra Home.

On April 18th, Johnston was randomly selected, and due to the constraints of Covid-19, instead of getting to choose a Lucky Envelope at a central location, CFA got creative, sending the envelopes to the contestant’s home. While a CFA Representative watched via live feed on their cell phone, Johnston selected and opened envelope #33 (in honor of basketball great Larry Bird) winning the $15,000 grand prize.

Golf Putting Winner - Michael Meier

Meier won the prize at half-time during the Northern Kentucky University men’s homecoming basketball game after he was randomly selected via a registration form, to participate in the Barleycorn’s $5,000 putting contest. He nailed the shot, sending the entire arena into a frenzy and landing the substantial cash prize.

“I have been watching the contestants over the last couple of years and many have gotten so close. The hardwood is so much faster than an actual green so everything has to be in perfect alignment to sink it,” noted Joe Heil, Barleycorn’s owner and longtime NKU Norse basketball sponsor. “This putt had the speed and the accuracy. It was thrilling to watch!”
