Sister Company Hole In One International Picks Up the Tab

West Hartford, Conn. – Congratulations to Ernie Els (yes, that Ernie Els) who recently won a Rolex Yachtmaster II, courtesy of Connecticut’s Lux Bond & Green, and paid for by Odds On Promotions’ sister company, Hole In One International.

The Big Easy won the elegant timepiece, valued at $18,750, after he aced the 171-yard, hole 16 at the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, with a 7-iron, during the third round of the 2016 Travelers Championship. Check out Els’ impressive ace.

This was the second hole in one prize that Lux Bond & Green has awarded in as many years. In June 2015, Andres Romero took home a Rolex after he aced the same hole, also using a 7-iron.

Half Court Shot Winners Each Win $10K at State Farm Center

Students Swish for $20K at State Farm Center
Odds On Promotions Writes the Checks

Champaign, Ill. – Congratulations to half court shot winners Ryan Dowling and Drake Kurtenbach who each scored $10,000, paid for by Odds On, in a half-court basketball contest that took place in front of a sold-out crowd at State Farm Center.

The promotion, which was held on Senior Night during a game between Michigan State and the Fighting Illini, gave 10 randomly selected students the chance to each win $10,000 – for a total of $100,000 in potential prizes – if they could nail a shot from half-court.

To get the chance to win big, students needed to download the school’s Oskee Rewards App (the university’s new student loyalty program), allow for notifications, and then “check-in” at State Farm Center via the app. Students were then randomly selected and notified via the app and given a deadline to meet at the marketing table to finalize their participation in the contest.

To keep the excitement going all night long, the Marketing and Fan Development team held the contest over the course of the evening. The first round of half-court shots, which were sponsored by Game Day Spirit, took place during pre-game with the second round of shots, sponsored by FlyCU, taking place during the first half. The final round, sponsored by Homefield Energy Services, took place during the second half.

The night’s first winner, Ryan Dowling, barely got to the marketing table in time, but went on to nail his half-court shot just before the game started, while Drake Kurtenbach, a senior, swished one in during the first half, netting himself $10K and a giant roar from the crowd.

Watch their amazing half court shots for yourself.

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.
