Football Promotion Results in Ford for Oklahoma Woman

Tulsa, Okla. – Congratulations to football promotion winner Lindsay Tally who won a brand-new Ford last Fall, courtesy of Oklahoma Ford Dealers in partnership with KOKI Fox 23, and paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Tally won her new ride, valued at $45,000, as part of the Oklahoma Ford Kickoff & Win Sweepstakes, a season-long football promotion based around Fox’s Saturday night college football “Game of the Week”.

To participate, every week viewers visited the station’s website contest page and completed a quick registration form. Each week, the station would select one contestant who had the chance to win the brand-new Ford if the Opening kickoff was returned for a touchdown, but would also win a guaranteed prize: a services certificate valued between $150 – $1140 at one of the participating dealerships. In addition to the weekly prizes, everyone who participated also was entered to win a Bonus Prize at the end of the season: a $500 service certificate, a Yeti cooler and two tailgate chairs.

On October 28, Saquon Barkley returned a 97-yard opening kickoff for a touchdown, during the Penn State vs Ohio State football game, winning Tally her brand-new Ford. Watch her pick up the keys to her new ride!

To drive tune-in during the month of May, the KC 102.1 on-air talent prompted listeners to call in during 4 selected day parts to qualify for a chance to win $102,000.

At the end of the on-air promotion qualification period, the station threw a grand prize finale event at Los Cabos Mexican Grill, where the station randomly selected one finalist who got to play a Pick ‘Til You Win Lucky Envelopes game.

Inside each of 40 Lucky Envelopes, which the station put on display, there was a lucky prize message. While two messages read “$500” and “$1,000” – the station’s cash consolation prizes, the third message read “$102,000”, which was insured by Odds On.

Links opened one envelope at a time until she collected five matching messages, winning $102K, which was the largest cash prize ever awarded in the history of the market.

According to station’s Promotions Director Bryan Truta, “KC 102.1 has a history of ‘bigger than life’ giveaways but this takes the cake. We are pleased to be giving away the biggest prize in KC history.”
