To promote the dealership and generate traffic and awareness, Jet Chevrolet ran a series of ads on their local sports radio affiliates and in the local paper, offering people the chance to win $35,000 if the Seahawks shutout the Giants.

To participate in the promotion all you had to do was visit the dealership and complete an entry form. But there was a bonus for those who purchased a car during the four day promotion…buyers would receive 100 entries for the drawing.

When Seattle trounced New York, 23-0, during the 2013 season NFL game, that’s when the phone began to ring as media outlets from around the country wanted to get the scoop–but even better, Jet Chevrolet generated tons of press coverage in the Seattle market.

According to Jim Johnson, a co-owner of Jet Chevrolet, “This is crazy. We never expected that we’d actually be giving away the money.” And now, thanks to Odds On, they will be!

Back to Back Kick Returns Leads to Big Winners In Reno

Reno, Nev. – How do you beat giving away $300,000 on Super Sunday? By doing it two years in a row! After handing out $100,000 to three lucky players following Jacoby Jones’ 2013 Super Sunday kick return, Reno’s Atlantis Casino Resort Spa opted to double down, giving their patrons the chance to score big cash prizes in 2014 with a little help from Odds On Promotions.thumbnail (6)

Guests who participated in the casino’s Big Bowl Bash parties each got a chance to win the big bucks if the opening or second-half kickoff was returned for a touchdown. So you can imagine the response when Seattle wide receiver and kick returner Percy Harvin broke free from the Broncos’ defense and ran back the opening kickoff of second half for a touch down.

“I did not think the excitement from last year could be matched,” said Craig Pleva, director of casino marketing for Atlantis Casino Resort Spa. “This year was even better. Guests were jumping up and down, hugging each other, and cheering. There was a genuine disbelief that this could be done two years in a row. It was exciting in 2013 when three guests won $100,000 each. Now we have six $100,000 winners in the last 12 months. It is awesome.”

Pleva noted, “Odds On Promotions was quick to respond and offered a great prize element to our event.”The casino is giving their players another chance to win their share of  $300,000  this year as well!

Woman Wins Harley In a Dice Roll Promotion

Riverside, Calif. – This March, Barbara Collins won a 2014 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Lo, courtesy of Riverside Harley-Davidson, and paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Collins won the sweet ride after she rolled “H-A-R-L-E-Y” on a set of six customized 1” dice. The dice roll, which was held during a two-day promotional event, gave everyone who visited the dealership the chance to roll for a new ride.

According to Katie Williams, who helped run the promotion, customers were lined up out the door – on both days, waiting for the chance to roll and win.

According to Riverside Harley-Davidson’s Assistant General Manager, Kristen Kunzeman, “The dice roll added to the event. But it was a just a shock. You know, we’ve run events like this in the past, but we’ve never had a winner. You don’t really expect it. But everything – the claim process – everything, went very smooth. Working with Odds On was very easy. ”
