Drop This for Bigger Play
Million-Dollar Golf Ball Drop Promotion

Are you looking for a truly attention-grabbing summer promotion? How about a golf ball drop promotion? Imagine giving your players the chance to win a million dollars and all you have to do is drop the ball. Well actually, 500 balls – more or less. Here’s how.

Last summer a New York racino gave qualified players the chance to win $1,000,000 in a million dollar golf ball drop. Guests could enter once per day during the qualification period (but you can always have players earn additional entries based on points, etc.). Then, a few days before the big drop, the facility randomly selected 500 entries and assigned each one their very own numbered golf ball.

On the appointed day, staff at the property dropped the balls from the top of a fire truck ladder onto a target placed on the infield of the racetrack. If the lucky ball(s) that fell closest to the target “hole” were one of the preselected Lucky Balls, the owner of that ball would instantly win $1,000,000 paid for by Odds On. To ensure a successful golf ball drop promotion the racino gave the person who came closest a guaranteed prize of $5,000.

While this NY property opted to drop golf balls, you could run this promotion anywhere – and drop just about anything – including promotional chips, gold medals, baseballs, or even, tiny shoes. Don’t have access to a fire truck? Partner with the local cable company (bucket truck), a hot air balloon ride company, or even your local news station (traffic helicopter). And don’t feel you need to stick with 500. You could drop more balls, less balls and have as many potential winners as you’d like.

Longview, Tex. –  Mike Hunter of Longview won a brand new $33,000 truck, paid for by Odds On Promotions, during the KYKX 105.7 Big Bass Bonanza.   Hunter won his new ride when the bass he caught weighed in at exactly 5.700 lbs.

According to Harlen Lobley, Director of Sales for Alpha Media, the multi-day tournament is one of the best-known fishing events in East Texas, attracting roughly 1500 anglers. Along with the chance to win a truck in the Exact Weight Match promotion, the tournament also featured hourly prizes and a grand prize package valued at over $100,000.

“We’ve been running the Exact Weight promotion for many years now. We chose 5.700 because one of our stations is 105.7.  Mike thought the fish was about 5-6 pounds so he figured he had a good chance to win $300 for catching the 2nd place big fish that hour.  It was a real shock when we realized the fish weighed in at exactly 5.700,” explained Lobley.

“We’ve had anglers come close before but this was really exciting. Folks are still talking about it,” he continued.

While Hunter won his choice of two trucks ( a 2015 Toyota Tundra courtesy of Patterson of Marshall Toyota Scion or a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 courtesy of Patterson of Marshall Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram), he opted for the Toyota.

“Our Odds On Representative, Evelyn Golding, is fun to work with. She’s prompt, professional and has great ideas. We’ve done several promotions together…  Mystery Mascots, Hot Air Balloon dice drops, Lucky Reindeer –  but this was our first winner.  The claims process went exactly as I expected it would.  There were no problems – no surprises. Everything went as expected. I figured it would take a couple of weeks, and that’s exactly how long it took. I was very happy with the claims process and the contest sponsor is very satisfied,” noted Lobley.
