Market Bar in Sparta, Wisconsin Runs Lucky Squares Football Promotion on New Year’s Day

Looking for a great way to attract a crowd to your bar/pub this football season?  Market Bar in Sparta, Wisconsin has the right idea: insure a Lucky Squares promotion.  Perfect and just in time for Super Bowl!  Here’s how it works:

Prior to the contest, Odds On Promotions  provides customers a grid with a “mystery square” worth a whopping $20,000! On New Year’s Day, all patrons watching the Packers. vs. Lions game participated in the Lucky Squares contest, where if the final score of the game lands in the preselected square on the grid (chosen by Odds On), the owner of that square would win the big bucks!  It’s that easy!

Tip: When purchasing prize insurance from Odds On, don’t forget to offer consolation prizes as well.  At the close of each quarter, using the last digit of each team’s respective score, locate the winning square and award a prize to the owner.  It’s always a great idea to give your customers numerous ways to win!
