Bowen Family Homes’ Penny Power Promotion Comes to a Close
Atlanta, GA, November 18, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Bowen Family Homes awarded $2,500 each to a potential homebuyer and a Realtor at its Grand Finale Penny Toss competition on November 10 at 9 a.m. at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth.
Homebuyers tossed pennies from 15-feet for the chance to win new home for $.01, while Realtors also tossed pennies from 15-feet to take home the grand prize of $50,000. Upon entering the event, homebuyers and Realtors chose prize envelopes that were numbered from one to 100. One envelope contained a new home and one included $50,000.
Upon completing the tosses, each winner opened their envelope to reveal their prize. Potential homebuyer, Charles Cooper, who had captured the homebuyer’s toss, opened his envelope first, learning that he won $2,500. Realtor, Michael Garcia followed, also discovering that he had won $2,500. At the end of the event, the prize envelopes containing the winning numbers were revealed to the crowd.
“While we would have liked to see one of our finalists take home the grand prize of a brand new Bowen Family Home or $50,000, we are still pleased we were able to give away a grand total of $5,000,” said Bowen Family Homes’ Marketing Director, Kelly Fink. “It was a wonderful event and everyone that participated had a great time. We look forward to having more events like this in the future.”
