Halftime Basketball Promotion Scores Big Media Coverage

Greenville, S.C.  –  Talk about starting off 2018 with a bang! Clemson University’s first halftime basketball promotion on the new year was a huge success.

Christopher Carns won $10,000 on January 6, 2018, courtesy of Roto-Rooter, and paid for by Odds On Promotions, after he drained a 94-foot putt during halftime at a Clemson basketball game at Littlejohn Coliseum.

Carns, who was randomly selected to participate in the fan-friendly on-court halftime basketball contest, had only ever played golf a few times.  After he hit the ball, he expected the shot to veer off at any moment, but as it turned out, the ball rolled right through the template placed at the other end of the court, resulting in a giant roar of approval from the crowd and a big hug from the school’s mascot.

The halftime promotional putt also paid off for Roto-Rooter. The winning giant-prize “drain the putt” story was picked up by ESPN, every major golf publication, CBS Sports and USA Today.

Check out Carns’ amazing putt for yourself.

Viewer Wins Ford In Television Station Football Promotion

Tulsa, Okla. –  Congratulations to Cathy Gunther who won a brand-new Ford in a television station football promotion, sponsored by the Oklahoma Ford Dealers.

Gunther won her new ride, valued at $45,000, as part of  KOKI Fox 23’s Kickoff and Win Sweepstakes, a season-long football promotion based around Fox’s Saturday night college football “Game of the Week”.

To participate, viewers visited the station’s website contest page and completed a quick registration form, every week during the promotion. Each week, the station would select one contestant who would not only get a chance to win the brand-new Ford if the opening kickoff was returned for a touchdown but would also win a weekly guaranteed prize: a services certificate valued at between $150 – $1,140 at one of the participating dealerships.

In addition to the weekly prize, everyone who participated also was entered to win a Bonus Prize at the end of the season: a $500 service certificate, a Yeti cooler, and two tailgate chairs.

On October 28, Saquon Barkley returned the opening kickoff 97-yards for a touchdown, during the Penn State vs Ohio State football game, winning Gunther her brand-new Ford.

Watch her pick up the keys to her new ride!

Odds On Promotions Writes the Check

Mill Hall, Penn. – Congratulations to kickoff return winner Deana Hill who recently won $25,000, courtesy of the Clinton County United Way, and paid for by Odds On Promotions, during the PSU Tailgate Party at Haywood’s On the Green.

To raise some funds (and have some fun), the Clinton County United Way threw a tailgate party during the Penn State vs. Ohio State football game.

For $10, participants could watch the game on two big screens, enjoy a bonfire as well as food and drink specials, and dance the evening away with a live band after the game.

To generate additional excitement and draw an even bigger crowd, the United Way gave everyone who purchased a ticket the chance to win $25,000 if a Penn State player returned the opening or second half kickoff for a touchdown.

As luck would have it, Saquon Barkley returned the opening kickoff 97-yards for a touchdown, ensuring one lucky attendee would win the giant-cash prize. After the game, Deana Hill’s ticket was randomly drawn and she scored the $25,000 prize.
