Direct Mail Winner Kenneth Quarles Scores 2016 Nissan Altima

Odds On Promotions Writes the Check for $25,000

Hot Springs, Ark. – Congratulations to direct mail winner Kenneth Quarles of Arkadelphia who scored a brand new 2016 Nissan Altima, valued at $25,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions, in a direct mail promotion developed by a marketing company in Georgia.

Quarles won the brand-new ride after he took his cousin’s advice and drove one hour to the dealership to see if he was the grand prize winner. While Quarles wanted to look at the car, winning number or not, when he got to the dealership, he was shocked to find out the number on his mailer matched a set of grand prize winning numbers posted at the dealership.

But Quarles wasn’t the only big winner of the “Splash Into Savings” Sales Event. The dealership was delighted with the turnout, reporting between 600-800 folks visited, which was well above their expected turnout of 500.

Milwaukee, Wis. – This fall, 94.5 KTI Country gave their listeners the chance to win a million dollars, paid for by Odds On Promotions in a listen to win Lucky Envelopes promotion. Starting in September, during eight daily selected dayparts, the station announced a “secret song” of the hour.

Once they arrived at the grand prize finale which took place at JB’s on 41, the station randomly selected contestants via a reverse drawing to identify one finalist, Carol Walczak, who got the chance to win up to $1M, paid for by Odds On playing Odds On’s Pick ‘Til You Win Lucky Envelopes.

Inside each of the 40 envelops that were on display, there was a lucky prize message. While two messages read “Jake” and “Tanner” (the station’s AM drive talent), the third message read “One Million Dollars”. Carol opened one envelope at a time until she collected five matching messages, winning the corresponding prize. While Carol didn’t win the million, the station didn’t send her home empty handed! She took home $1,000 for having collected five “Tanners”.
