SSB Regulars Cashing In

Silver Strike Sweepstakes Winners Hit It Big Before Bowlapalooza Break

The Silver Strike Bowling sweepstakes has awarded nearly $1 million in cash and prizes since it’s inception in 2006. Players pay nothing extra to participate in the sweepstakes and operators simply need to register their games to participate. Simple and easy – that’s the Incredible Technologies way.

“Nothing is more exciting for an operator than having a major sweepstakes winner on one of their games,” said Scott Morrison, marketing VP at IT. “The operator awards the prize and put up the commemorative plaque. We make sure everyone knows they’re the superstar.”

The latest group of mega-winners all had one thing in common – they play a lot of Silver Strike. The fewest entries any winner had was 50.

“It’s not uncommon for someone to win who had only a handful of entries. But this time it was the die-hards who came away with the big prizes. It’s great when a ‘regular’ get’s lucky,” Morrison said.

In January, James Skaggs of Deltona, Florida was the winner of a custom-built SSB home edition housed in a Showpiece cabinet complete with a stand and 42” HDTV.

“I couldn’t believe it when my name popped up on the screen at Shotz,” said Skaggs. “This is the coolest prize in the world. I love this game!”

Greg Trent of Beyer & Brown made the presentation and did the installation. “James loves this game. He’s going to have a blast with it when he’s not at Shotz playing with his friends. We’re very pleased to have a mega-winner on one of our games!”

James had 219 entries in the drawing from a total pool of 1,458,702.

$7,500 Sears Gift Card

A part-time bartender at the Eagles Club in Largo, Florida, who loves playing Silver Strike on her break, Barbara Clouse was the February mega-winner. Her prize? A $7,500 Sears Gift Card.

“I was in a tizzy when I saw I won,” she said. “I don’t have a computer and I had to have my daughter help me claim the prize. It’s so wonderful to win! I can buy so many things I need with this gift card.”

Tom George of All Florida Amusements is the operator of the equipment at the Eagles Club. “Our Silver Strike Bowlers are doing very well for us. Having a sweepstakes winner is just icing on the cake. We’re very happy to be a part of this program.”

Barbara’s entry was chosen from a total of 1,293,661 entries. She had 72 chances to win.

The March sweepstakes mega-winner was Michael Taylor of Byrnes Mill, Missouri. A bouncer at Jilly’s in High Ridge, he had 199 entries in the drawing. His was chosen from a pool of 1,326,389.

Michael, who plays both Golden Tee and Silver Strike, said that this win couldn’t have come at a better time. “I’m buying HDTV’s for everyone in my family and I’m getting a new laptop. I can’t wait to run through the aisles at Best Buy!”

$7,500 Home Depot Gift Card

This past April when Dustin Cooper and his friend went to Meatheads in Greeneville, South Carolina to roll a few games of Silver Strike, he said that he’d split the sweepstakes prize with her if he won. After all she was putting the cash into the game.

Well guess what, Meredith? You’re getting half of a $7,500 Home Depot gift card!

“She deserves half,” Dustin said. “She put up the dough. It’s only fair.” Dustin and Meredith had 50 entries in the drawing out of 1,293,092. “I’m getting my mom a new patio set too,” he said.

William Thevaos of Owl Music in Charlotte was excited to learn that he had a major sweepstakes winner. “Silver Strike does very well for us down here,” he said. “Being a part of this is very cool. We had a blast giving away the gift card. The place was packed.”
