Wow! State Farm’s Call Your Shot Promotion!

By Jake • Jun 11th, 2008 • Category: Feature Story

 

 

 

Are you kidding me?  

Here’s how State Farm’s promotion works: Fans can enter the promotion daily through June 24 at http://www.sfCallYourShot.com/2008. The grand prize winner of Call Your Shot will win:

* All-expense paid trip for four to the All-Star Game and State Farm Home Run Derby

* First class hotel accommodations in New York

* Tickets to a Broadway show

* $1,000 MasterCard gift card

The grand prize winner will also get the chance to pick a spot to which two of the Home Run Derby players must compete to try to hit a ball.  If the first player hits the ball to the called spot, the promotion ends.  If either player succeeds, the fan receives a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid vehicle and a 2009 season-ticket package for any team. 

Additionally, 10 fans will win first place prizes consisting of a $300 MLB.com gift card and 25 second place prize winners will receive $100 MLB.com gift cards.

And guess what - State Farm is going to give one of Bucco Blog’s readers a $50 MLB gift card.  All you have to do is leave a message in this thread to be eligible.

Talk about a deal.  Go for it - easy money.

The winner will be announced in Saturday night’s post.
