Fundraising Promotion Brings Together Station, Car Dealer & DECA Club

Odds On’s Internet Business Development Manager Damien Anderson recently assisted Bryant Motors with a creative fundraising promotion in conjuction with a local radio station, BOB 92.3, and the DECA Club of Smith Cotton High School.

Fundraising Promotion Featuring A Dodge Dart

This Fall, Bryant Motors partnered with radio station BOB 92.3 in Sedalia, Missouri and the local high school DECA club, giving everyone who made a donation the chance to win a Dodge Dart in a Pick 3 of 10 Lucky Envelopes promotion at a basketball game.

For several weeks leading up to the big game, the Smith-Cotton High School’s DECA Club sold raffle tickets. Each week a lucky finalist was randomly selected and announced on air by Denny Perkins, during the BOB 92.3 morning show. Each finalist received $100 plus a chance to win the 2013 Dodge Dart, courtesy of Kyle Herrick at Bryant Motors, and paid for by Odds On Promotions.

On January 4th, during a Smith-Cotton basketball game, one lucky finalist out of the five weekly qualifiers got the chance to select three Lucky Envelopes out of 20, in hopes of locating three symbols: the front; middle; and back of a Dodge Dart – thus winning the new car from Bryant Motors. While there wasn’t a grand prize winner, DECA awarded the lucky finalist an additional $100 as a consolation prize. All proceeds from raffle went to benefit Child Safe.

A Million Dollar Watch and Win Promotion

Looking to engage more viewers during Spring Sweeps? A watch and win promotion is surefire way to get viewers tuning in …

Raycom Media recently gave viewers across the country the chance to win up to $1,000,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions, for tuning daily to watch America Now.

In order to get their chance to win the big bucks, viewers need to watch the show in order to find out the “Play Code of the Day”.

After receiving the daily code, viewers headed over to the website, AmericaNowNews.com, and entered the contest using their email address and the “Play Code”, after which they received a confirmation email.

At the conclusion of this multi-day watch & win contest, one lucky contestant was selected from all of the registered contestants, and given the chance to win $1,000,000 playing Odds On’s Pick Til’ You Win Lucky Envelopes promotion.

Judy Dunn from Huntsville, Alabama, was the lucky finalist selected from over 40,000 registered participants (and one of 425 from Huntsville). Dunn was then invited to her local station and presented with 40 of Odds On’s “Lucky Envelopes”, each of which contained one of three prize symbols ($750, $1,000 and $1,000,000). Judy then selected and opened envelopes until she had five matching symbols, winning the indicated prize of $750.00.

Driver’s License Match Promotion: Perfect for Radio Stations!

A radio station in the south recently gave fans the chance to win a giant prize in a Driver’s License Match promotion insured by Odds On Promotions!

During the month-long promotion, listeners tuned in daily for the cue to call. The ‘nth’ caller then had the opportunity to match the last 4 digits of their driver’s license number with Odds On’s preselected 4-digit number. If it ended up being a match, the lucky listener would win $50,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions!

On-Air License Match Games Made Easy

“Our Driver’s License Match promotion, ‘Licensed 2 Win‘, is an extremely simple contest to hold on-air thanks to Odds On’s internet verification system”, explains Chris Gardiner, Northeast and Midwest Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions. “When the caller is on the line, the DJ simply logs on to the online verification system and enters in the caller’s name, along with the license numbers the caller provides, to see if it’s a match. If it isn’t, the window automatically closes. If the number does match, then the DJ is prompted that they have a grand prize winner and to contact Odds On Promotions right away.”

Odds On’s Driver’s License Match promotion can be built using 3, 4, or 5 numbers based upon the sponsor and/or station’s budget, the length of the promotion and the size of the prize.

California Casino Insures Swipe, Play and Win Lotto Promotion

Thanks to Odds On Promotions, casino promotions just got a whole lot… bigger! Take it from this California casino who insured Odds On’s new lottery-style Swipe, Play & Win promotion, The Big Draw, to increase foot traffic, attract new players and keep them on their property for an extended period of time!

During the 3-month-long promotional period, every Wednesday and Saturday, players had to the opportunity to participate in the casino promotion 4 times daily! All they had to do was swipe their players club card and choose 6 lotto balls (numbered 1-60) on the game’s touch screen.

Fun fact: The Big Draw has a “quick pick” feature which will select your six picks for you. You can also switch out the balls you’d like to select by simply clicking one of the six at the bottom to put it back and then reselect.

After making their picks, each player collected a drawing ticket which displayed their six chosen numbers, the date and time(s) that the ticket was valid for, as well as where the live drawing would take place. If one player managed to match all 6 of their chosen numbers on the ticket with the numbered balls that displayed at the time of the drawing, then they’d win $100,000… and Odds On would write the check!

While unfortunately, no one won the insured prize, there’s still a ton of great news: a guaranteed $100,000 prize was given to one lucky player at the end of the promotion! Smaller prizes were also handed out to players who managed to match a lesser amount of numbers: 3/6 numbers landed players $10 in free play; 4/6 numbers would give players $100 cash and 5/6 numbers meant a $1,000 cash progressive.

Lucky List Promotion Insured By Mississippi Furniture Store

Want to move some merchandise during your February President’s Day sale? Check out how this furniture store in Mississippi increased business on Black Friday with a Lucky List promotion!

Lucky List Promotion: A New Year, New Room Giveaway…

During the promotional period, customers who entered the client’s furniture store had the opportunity to put a list of 8 numbered furniture items in the order of their choice, using Odds On’s handheld verification unit. If the number they entered matched Odds On Promotions‘ preselected numerical order, then the customer would win all of the furniture items on the list: a sofa, love seat, coffee table, lamp, end table, entertainment center, rug and recliner… totaling $10,000 and paid for by Odds On!

According to Odds On’s Damien Anderson, who works with a number of furniture store clients, “One way to ensure success with a Lucky List promotion in the retail environment is to build a large vignette featuring all of the items you are ‘giving away’ as part of your promotion. This way customers can not only get a good look at what they’ll be winning, but it ensures immediate engagement. I also recommend awarding auxiliary prizes to customers who come close to getting their lists in a winning order and, of course, including the promotion in your advertising.”
