$10 Million More Reasons to Love Football:

In addition, as part of its outreach to Latino football fans, earlier this month ESPN unveiled “Futbol a Football,” a consumer promotion featuring a $10 million cash giveaway- potentially one of the largest prizes ever awarded in a cable television promotion.

What is Futbol a Football?

Futbol a Football is a three month, major multi-market consumer promotion centered around soccer and football–two of the most popular programs on ESPN Deportes, ESPN’s Spanish-language television network. Chosen at random from a national sweepstakes, a winner will have the opportunity during halftime of the Rams vs. Cowboys NFL game in Dallas on New Year’s Day to score an empty-net soccer goal from mid-field, followed by a 40-yard field goal. If the contestant can hit the net and split the uprights on only one attempt each, he/she will take home $10 million. If only one of the kicks is successful, the contestant will receive $25,000. If neither kick is successful, the contestant will receive $10,000 just for trying and being a good sport. Participants can fill out a sweepstakes entry form on http://www.espnportes.com, http://www.futbolafootball.com, or call 1-800-Deportes to register for the promotion.
