Basketball Promotion: $25K Football Target Throw

Wondering what a football has to do with a basketball promotion? Read on to find out…

Looking to run a more creative basketball promotion at your next game? One university in the Northern U.S., recently teamed up with a local appliance store to sponsor a football target toss promotion during a basketball game- generating big excitement among the school’s devoted fans!

A week prior to game day, fans had the opportunity to register online for a chance to have dinner with one of this university’s former Heisman Trophy winners, as well as score a pair of tickets to the big game!

Another lucky fan, also chosen via random online registration, received a big dollar opportunity: the chance to throw a football 25 yards through a target template placed in the middle of the basketball arena! If the lucky fan made it, the contestant would have been a $25,000 winner, and Odds On would have cut a check for the prize.

While unfortunately, there was no grand prize winner, a good time was still had by all and the fans in the stands couldn’t have been more excited to see one of their fellow supporters being given the chance to win big, compliments of Odds On Promotions!

Online Selection for Basketball Promotions Made Easy

While running a football-themed promotion at a basketball game is a creative way to engage fans, using an online registration process to select a contest participant is an effective way to drive traffic to your web and social media sites.

Basketball Promotion: Foul or Score Cash Lucky Pick Contest

Need a fun and unique basketball promotion idea in celebration of the “Madness” that occurs every March? Then you’ll just love the Lucky Pick contest that a casino property in the Southern U.S. will be insuring!

Score Bucks Lucky Basketball Pick Promotion

Every Friday night, all month long, players will have a chance to participate in the promotion. Once selected, a lucky player will get to select a ball from a “Lucky Bag” that holds 20 basketballs — 10 labeled with the word SCORE and 10 labeled FOUL.

Each SCORE ball will land a player a cash prize which will accumulate until/unless a player draws a FOUL ball — then it’s an automatic game over. However, if a lucky player draws all 10 SCORE balls without coming into contact with a FOUL ball, they’ll win the insured grand prize of $1,000,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions!

Lucky Envelopes Promotion Insured at Ice Fishing Derby

Just because its the middle of winter doesn’t mean you can’t run an amazing fishing event! Check out how a Wisconsin insurance agency recently assisted a local fishing derby by giving participants a shot at winning the big bucks in an ice fishing derby Lucky Envelopes promotion, insured by Odds On Promotions.

Here’s how the Lucky Envelopes promotion worked: 4 lucky contestants of the ice fishing derby, chosen at random, were selected to participate in the Pick ‘Til You Win-style Lucky Envelopes promotion, in which each of the 4 individuals chose 5 lucky envelopes.

5 Lucky Envelopes Could Have Meant a $10,000 Payout…

The 4 contestants each started with 35 envelopes, opening one envelope at a time, unveiling one of three different prize symbols, representing three different prizes. The first prize symbol drawn five times would be the prize the lucky contestant would walk away with. If a lucky angler managed to select the five Lucky Envelopes which contained the matching grand prize symbols, then they’d win an instant $10,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions! Did we mention that each of the 4 participants of the promotion each had a chance to win the insured prize? Yep, there was a total of $40K on the line!

Although unfortunately, no one managed to score the $10,000 grand prize, it was still a winning day for participants because the event featured over $16,000 in guaranteed prizes, including cash and ATVs! (Talk about a great example of “doing it right” when it comes to a grand prize promotion — after all, no one likes leaving empty-handed!)
