Basketball Promotion: Foul or Score Cash Lucky Pick Contest

Need 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!

Basketball Contest: 10-Person On-Court Putting Contest Insured!

Here’s a fun basketball contest idea from a university in the South: an on-court putting contest!

At the game, 10 lucky contestants were selected to participate in this on-court basketball contest via registration forms. After being chosen, the participants came down to center court and each attempted a 50-foot putt! If any of the ten contestants were able to successfully sink the putt, it would have meant some big prize money, paid for by Odds On Promotions, of course!

While unfortunately, no one ended up holing putt, the basketball contest was still a winner. The university reported that a few of the contestants came very close to winning the insured prize and the crowd thoroughly enjoyed the promotion!
