Hockey Contest Insured by University… Worth a Brand New Car!

hockey contest - rapid fire Whether you’re a college, university or hockey team of any kind, you’re bound to love this hockey contest which comes to us from a University located in the Midwest. In order to increase entertainment during one of their hockey games of the season, they reached out to Odds On Promotions to insure a hockey rapid fire promotion!

Here’s how the hockey contest worked: three lucky fans chosen via “Lucky Seat” were each given a bag with a hockey puck inside — but only one of them would be the winning puck which would grant the fan the opportunity to participate in the hockey contest!

A Hockey Contest Could Mean Big Prizes!

The contestant who qualified was in for a real treat: a chance to win a brand new Ford Explorer valued at $45,000 if he was able to successfully shoot 25 pucks into an open net within 30 seconds time! All of the pucks were lined up at center ice for the lucky fan to shoot into the net. While unfortunately, he did not end up winning the insured grand prize, he still scored an impressive number of pucks and excitement rang throughout the arena!

Cow Bingo: Rotary Club Raises Bucks for Local Non-Profit

What do you get when you combine a cow, bingo, a field and a $75,000 prize?
Here at Odds On, we call it one heck of an attention-getting fundraiser!

This March, during the 19th Annual Florida Gateway Pro Rodeo, the Rotary Club of Lake City is giving donors a chance to win $75,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions, in a Cow Bingo fundraiser.

How Now Cow Bingo?

Also known as Cow Pie Bingo, Bovine Bingo and Cow Patty Bingo, Cow Chip Bingo gives donors the chance to win prizes based on where a bovine does his or her business.

After selecting an appropriate space – in this case, a very large field – the contest organizers will create a large grid of numbered square-yard “plots”, selling numbered “deeds” for each plot to donors. On the date of the promotion, the bovine will be released at the center of the field to roam about and do “what comes naturally.”

After the bovine “does its business”, the location will be noted and whomever “owns” that square will be named the winner, taking home a guaranteed $2,500 prize. However, if the square happens to be the same “Lucky Square” preselected by Odds On, the owner will win – no bull – $75,000, paid for by Odds On.

Deeds to each “square yard” of the field are selling for $10 a piece. All funds raised in the Rotary Club of Lake City’ $75,000 Cow Chip Bingo promotion will support the Columbia County School Foundation’s Backpacks 4 Food Program.

Get on a Roll for Tax R-E-L-I-E-F: Casino Dice Roll Promotion

Odds On Promotions Western Business Development Manager, Brent Kelly, shares a colorful way to drive increased casino play this April: a giant-prize dice roll promotion!

Dice Roll for Dollars

Let’s face it, this year, everyone could use a little tax relief. And that’s one of the reasons why I’m suggesting that companies consider marketing into Monday, April 15 – Income Tax Day – particularly since so many people now file their taxes electronically.

One the more entertaining ways to hand out a little relief is with a set of Odds On’s
custom 1″, 4″ or 8″ dice. In a dice roll promotion, you’ll give qualifiers the chance to spell a particular word – in this case – R-E-L-I-E-F, as in tax relief, or collect a winning combination of letters and numbers (e.g. 1-0-4-0-E-Z) in order to win $50,000, $100,000, $500,000 or more.

However, another creative way to customize your dice is to feature a different color on each die face – so that with every roll, your players spell RELIEF, reinforcing the theme of the promotion. Here’s just one way you might want to run a casino dice roll…

1. Draw a contestant every half hour from 3pm-Midnight on Saturdays and Sundays in April, giving players the chance to roll and win up to $1,040 or more in cash, slot play or points based on how many matching colored letters they roll.

2. In addition to your weekend rolls, on Monday, April 15, hold a special Tax RELIEF roll where you’ll draw 15 lucky players and give them each the chance to roll R-E-L-I-E-F in a matching color, and win $150,000, paid for by Odds On.

3. Make this one even more affordable – and more rewarding for your players, by teaming up with a local tax preparation service to assist with consolation prizes.

Fishing Promotion Insured by Montana Insurance Agency

Thinking about insuring a fishing promotion at your upcoming tournament?

When people think about the kinds of fishing promotions they can insure, most automatically look at running a state record contest or a matching weight promotion.

But Odds On has a variety of contests and promotions that can be customized to suit your fishing event including Dice Rolls, Lucky Envelopes contests and even a brand new game called “Casting for Cash.”

Casting for Cash is a customizable Video Scratch & Win promotion that will allow you to give every angler in your event the chance to win a variety of insured and self-sponsored prizes! If a lucky tournament participant happens to “reel” in 6 winning symbols on the game’s touchscreen, they will take home a grand prize, paid for by Odds On Promotions.

A Fishing Promotion for Everyone in Your Tournament

An insurance agency in Montana recently teamed up with a local tournament giving every angler in the event the chance to win a brand new fishing boat, valued at $35,000, for selecting 6 spots on the Video Scratch & Win game’s touchscreen. While there wasn’t a grand prize winner, the fishing tournament was a success and there were several close calls, so the tournament awarded a number of self-sponsored prizes for those anglers who found fewer than 6 winning symbols.

Interested in learning more about Casting for Cash? Give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote! Or, you can email us for more information or with any questions you may have!
