Basketball Promotion: Foul or Score Cash Lucky Pick Contest

basketball promotionNeed 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

lucky envelopesJust 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!)

Interested in insuring a Lucky Envelopes promotion of your own?  Whether you’re holding a fishing tournament, a different sports event, a trade show or need to drive traffic to your store… Lucky Envelopes are the perfect promotion to insure any place, any time!  Just give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote… or email us for more information!  We look forward to hearing from you!

Casino Promotion: EGGstravaganza of Cash and Prizes!

Casino properties: Are you looking for an EGGcellent casino promotion to run this Spring?  Looking to increase coin-in during a particularly slow period?  If the answer is ‘yes’ to either one of those questions, then Odds On has just the promotion for you, straight from a casino in Louisiana — Odds On’s portable, handheld Hot Seat Tablet promotion, “Eggstravaganza of Cash and Prizes!”

This Casino Promotion Will Surely Be An EGGstravaganza!

casino promotionDuring the month of March, each and every Saturday night, players will be chosen via hot seat to participate in the promotion.  A casino team member will bring the tablet to the player right at their gaming position and allow them to select 6 spaces on the handheld game’s touchscreen.  If all 6 spaces reveal an ‘egg’ symbol, they’ll be an instant $100,000 winner… and Odds On will pay for the prize!

As if that wasn’t exciting enough, the casino will be providing smaller, self-insured prizes for players who manage to locate fewer eggs based on the casino’s preferred prize distribution matrix.  For example, the property has requested that players locating 1 out of 6 eggs receive $2,000 cash; 2/6 eggs for $750 cash; 3/6 eggs for $1,000 cash;  4/6 eggs for $1,500 cash  and 5/6 eggs, $2,000 cash!  If a player doesn’t manage to reveal a single egg on the touchscreen?  No problem — they’ll still be leaving $250 richer!
