Spooky Scratch and Win
Want to kill the competition? Check out Odds On’s Spooktacular Cash Machine where your customers get the chance to “scratch” and win cash and prizes up to a $100,000! Customers just select 6 spots on the Spooktacular Cash Machines’ touchscreen grid. If they can find the 6 hidden “spooks”, they’ll win the grand prize, and Odds On will write the check. Award smaller prizes for finding fewer ghosts and goblins.

 

Truck or Treat
Want to scare up some sales this October? How about running a Truck or Treat promotion. Working with your mail house or the local newspaper, create a sequentially numbered Halloween-themed mailer. Odds On will preselect a few winning numbers to post at your location. When a customer with a winning number comes in the door, they’ll win a truck (or some other big treat), and Odds On will pick up the tab. Consolation prizes may include free pumpkins, candy or a screaming good deal on their next purchase!

 

Trip or Treat
Get ready to bewitch your customers into visiting your location more often this month by giving them the chance to win luxurious vacations to destinations near and far. Odds On will ship you 40 Lucky Envelopes, each containing one of three prize symbols – one representing your grand prize (the trip of a lifetime) and two smaller self-insured “treats”. Contestants approach the Trip or Treat game board, and pick until they collect five matching symbols, winning the indicated prize. If they collect five “trips” before getting five “treats”, they’ll score a free vacation and Odds On will pay the fare.

 

Crypt of Cash and Prizes
On Halloween give your customers the chance to crack the code on a crypt or coffin full of cash, courtesy of Odds On Promotions! Contestants approach the Cash Crypt (aka the Prize Vault), and enter their favorite secret code. If someone has the winning combination of numbers, they score the prize, and Odds On covers the cost. The Cash Crypt can also be programmed to award a variety of consolation prizes. And be sure to ask about our hand held number verification machine, which can be installed on your very own “crypt” or “treasure tomb”.

UPDATE: $20K in Donations Made to Minnesota Youth Hockey – Minnesota Youth Hockey to Benefit from 11 Year Old’s Miracle Shot

RENO, Nev., August 29, 2011 – Odds On Promotions, the Reno, Nev. based promotions company that insured the hockey shot made by 11‐year‐old Nate Smith in place of his identical twin brother Nick, will make a $20,000.00 donation in the name of Nate and Nick Smith to youth hockey in the State of Minnesota. The fundraising promotion, sponsored by Bashers/Topview Grill and GrandStay Residential Suites, took place at the annual “Shattuck vs. the World” charity hockey game in Faribault, Minn. on August 11. Due to contractual breaches and legal implications, the company is unable to pay the claim as submitted.

“We greatly respect the eventual honesty of the Smith family,” Mark Gilmartin, President of Odds On Promotions, said. “Although we’re unable to the pay the claim on Nate’s incredible shot, we are confident our donation will help foster a positive environment for present and future youth hockey in Minnesota.”

“We are grateful to Odds On Promotions for making a donation in our sons’ names to these two very worthy organizations. This reinforces our belief that at the end of the day, we, as a family, made the right decision and demonstrates to our sons that, in the end, honesty is the best policy,” stated Pat Smith.

The $20,000.00 donation will benefit the Owatonna Youth Hockey Association in which Nick and Nate Smith compete and the Faribault Youth Hockey Association, the original beneficiary of the promotion.

10/1/2011 Update: An updated article on Nick and Nate Smith has been released on the Faribault Daily News Website.  both Nick and Nate are shown with $10,000 presentation checks which were given to the Faribault Hockey Association and the Owatonna Youth Hockey Association.

Greg Starkson, President of the Faribault Hockey Association President, said that the association will likely end up using the money for equipment, scholarship applications as well as additional ice time… but the final decision will not be made until the board gets together to discuss the matter further.

Vicki Mayer, Secretary of the Owatonna Youth Hockey Association, said she has been discussing various options with the Smith family already and would like for them to be part of the final decision as to what to do with the donation.

According to Vinar Jr., the organizer of the Shattuck-St. Mary’s vs. The World hockey game in which Nate Smith made the incredible 89-foot hockey shot,  “It couldn’t have come out any better for both the Faribault and Owatonna youth hockey associations. “I think it was a win-win.”
