Baseball Contest Idea: $1,000,000 Lucky Envelopes Contest!

Are you looking for a fabulous baseball contest idea that will excite your fans and draw a crowd to your next big game? How about theming the promotion around your fanbase, just like this Minor League Baseball client of mine in the Southeastern U.S. did during their One Millionth Fan Celebration!

Here’s how this particular baseball contest idea worked: The “nth” (in this case, the 1,000,000th) fan that walked through the turnstyle was selected to participate in a Lucky Envelopes promotion for a chance to win big after the 7th inning of the big baseball game that evening! This “Pick ‘Til You Win”-style promotion gave the lucky fan the opportunity to choose from 5 of 40 money bags, each of which contained an envelope. If the fan happened to choose the five envelopes which happened to contain matching grand prize inserts, they would have won $1,000,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions!

The promotion doesn’t just end there, however! The best part about using our “Pick ‘Til You Win”-style Lucky Envelopes game as a baseball contest idea is the fact that the contestant is a winner regardless! Two other prizes were up for grabs: a $30,000 vehicle, also insured by Odds On, and FREE tickets for LIFE — self-insured by the baseball team! It was just a matter of which 5 matching inserts were collected by the fan first!

Unfortunately, while the fan didn’t end up scoring the $1,000,000 insured prize, she still received two free tickets for life! Want to give your “nth” fan the opportunity to bring a guest to come see your team play for the rest of their lives? Better yet, want to offer an insured grand prize of up to $1,000,000? Odds On Promotions can make it happen with one of our baseball contest ideas! Give us a call today at 888-827-2249… or email us with any questions!

Casino Sports Sponsorship: Make The Most of Your Investment

$10,000 Grand Slam Inning winner from 2011’s baseball promotion!

Does your casino sponsor a sports team? I recently helped a Minor League Baseball team in the West Coast insure both a Grand Slam Inning promotion, as well as a Jumbo Dice Roll contest in order to drive traffic back to the casino sponsor’s property… for the 6th year in a row!

Here’s how the casino made the most of their sports sponsorship:

The property insured a Grand Slam Inning promotion during every game this season. One lucky fan was selected at random before each game and got the chance to win $10,000 in cash if the 4th batter of the team managed to hit an out-of-the-park grand slam homer during the 6th inning of any of the games. Prize paid for by Odds On Promotions, of course!

$5,000 Casino Dice Roll Winner from 2009’s promotion!

Meanwhile, as a season-long traffic driver, a Jumbo Dice Roll promotion was held at the local casino, on the same dates as each of the baseball games. Fans who visited the casino after each game got the chance to be one of the lucky pre-selected players to participate in the dice roll contest. One player on each promotion date rolled six custom jumbo dice. If all six dice that were rolled landed with the casino’s logo face-up, they would have won $45,000, paid for by Odds On!

But wait, there’s more — if a player happened to roll the dice and 5/6 logos displayed face-up after the roll, they would have still scored $5,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions! That’s a total of $50,000 in promotion insurance!

While there was no winner this time around, the baseball team, as well as the casino, have both had winners in the past! In 2009, there was a $5,000 Dice Roll contest winner and in 2011, there was a $10,000 Grand Slam Inning promotion winner!

Football Promotion Worth $20,000 Insured By PepsiCo

This just in: PepsiCo reaches out to Odds On to insure a grand prize football promotion!

That’s right — During the 3rd Annual AT&T Nation’s Football Classic at RFK in Washington, DC on September 7, 2013, PepsiCo will be insuring a football field goal kick contest where one lucky attendee can win the big bucks, compliments of Odds On Promotions.

Here’s how it will work: One lucky fan selected at random via ticket raffle will have the opportunity to kick a football 40 feet and split the uprights for the chance to win $20,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions! We’re excited to see the outcome of this fabulous football promotion, as well as who the winner of the actual game will be! The game, which will feature Morehouse College vs. Howard University, are two of the best known HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities).

Football Promotions Can Be Insured by Any Business!

The great part about football promotions is that you can insure one regardless of what type of business you are!

Retailers and auto dealerships – insure a sports-based conditional rebate promotion where if x play occurs during a game, your customers will receive a 100% rebate on their purchases during a specified promotional period.

Casinos – drive traffic and increase play at your casino property by insuring a sports sponsorship promotion!

Media (radio stations, TV stations and newspapers) – get your audience to participate on a weekly basis by publishing an official entry form and contest rules in-print or online each week asking participants to predict the week’s winners in the NFL, NCAA, NASCAR or any sporting event and submit them. Draw a select number of finalists and if one of them correctly picks the winners, Odds On will pay for the insured prize!

Hockey Promotions Could Result In a Lexus Lease For Up To 5 Fans!

When this particular NHL team reached out to me, wanting to insure five fabulous hockey promotions, I was ecstatic! Especially since it was initially insured for just a couple of games!

That’s right, they added three more days to the promotional period! Five separate red line shootout promotions occurred – one per game – during the month of May…

Fans, selected at random via registration forms at these playoffs, were given the opportunity to come down onto the ice and make not one, but two hockey shots from behind the red line, through a target opening, for a chance to win big… compliments of Odds On Promotions! And the prize was definitely a generous one – a local Lexus dealership teamed up with this NHL team to insure a 2-year lease on a brand new Lexus IS.

Don’t Exclude Anyone In Your Hockey Promotions!

But wait, it gets even better: Each randomly drawn fan who took their two shots at each of the five games all had the chance to win — the NHL team insured the 2-year lease for each and every contestant at each and every game, not wanting to risk excluding anyone from having a chance to win! Great call on their part. After all, you wouldn’t want to have to call a “Game Over” if the fan who takes the first shot at the first game ended up making the red line shot with four games to go!
