Andy J. from Iowa just won himself a big fat check for $10,000 and an appearance in an upcoming Arby’s Commercial! Not too shabby. You will want to do yourself a favor and check out his creative winning video below.
$10,000 Winner – “Hey Arby’s”
While much of the attention this week was put on the winner of Gain’s “Smell Like a Million Bucks Winner”, another big prize contest was deciding on its lucky winner.
Excedrin sponsored “What’s Your Headache” video contest has officially come to an end and a $150,000 prize has been awarded to Diane Dodd with her video entitled “Home Alone: Caught on Video.”
It really goes to show that if you guys are ever at loss for an video idea, animals work great! Congratulations to Diane for her entry and also Gus Campanairo who took home the $50,000 prize for his winning photo entry. Let us know if that money solved your headaches!
Home Alone: Caught on Video
After Gain’s “Smell Like a Million Bucks” video contest was narrowed down to its 25 finalists, the public voted on it’s million dollar winner. Congratulations to Lance Merkley for taking home the single largest cash prize for any video contest…EVER!
It also seems some controversy has already begun on Gain’s Facebook Page regarding the winning entry including a logo (which was forbidden in the rules) and the lack of a vote count display. We will assume Gain’s honesty at this point and let you guys decide if this video was the one you voted for. We also hope they will offer another video contest of this scale in the future.
Check out Lance’s winning video below!
