Football Contest Winner Scores $10K at Virginia Tech

Blacksburg, Va. – Congratulations to football contest winner Ramy Yousef who won $10,000 this September, paid for by Odds On Promotions, in a Pass, Punt and Kick contest at Virginia Tech.

Football Contest Winner - Ramy Yousef

Check out Yousef’s amazing pass, punt and prize-winning kick!

Yousef was one of five contestants randomly selected from the student section, via a “lucky seat” drawing, to participate in the half-time contest during a game between the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Furman Paladins.

The Pass, Punt and Kick contest began behind the endzone with all five students passing the football. The three students that threw the ball the furthest, then got the chance to punt the football. After the punt, Yousef, whose punt went the furthest, got the chance to go for the big payday: a shot at making the $10K prize-winning field goal kick.

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.

Want to reward a great shot at your tournament? Ready to have your own winning story at your golf event this year?

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.
