Seminole Coconut Creek has new angle to car giveaway
The Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is going to the press.
The casino has purchased newspaper inserts with bar codes in the left-hand corner, and The Palm Beach Post will include them May 14 and the SunSentinel will stuff them in its May 21 papers. Each day, one of the inserts has a bar code good for a Mini Cooper.
You have from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. May 14-16 to hit the casino and scan for the car with inserts from the Palm Beach Post. You have from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. May 21-23 to check your SunSentinel insert. Prizes also include 10 $1,000 winners and 100 $100 winners.
Actually, the insert gives you two chances to win a Mini Cooper, the casino's Michael Michaud points out. That's because in the upper-right corner of each insert is a coupon for a "second-chance" drawing entry. Redeem the coupon, then throw the entry into the casino's barrel each following Sunday between 9 a.m. and the noon drawing time, when the casino will give away yet another car. (Personally, I like those odds; how many people are really going to be there on a Sunday morning?)
The promotion is part of Coconut Creek's "Car a Day in May" promotion.
I want to see newspapers do well, so I'll let Michaud say it:
"Somebody has the potential to win a car if they buy the paper on Thursday," he said.

Well at least I will give the casino credit for trying something new, but I think the promo will bomb. How many pink t-shirts, you know the shirts that the street vendors wear, do you think you will see in the casino those two days? Not exactly the clientele the casino is trying to attract, but if a street vendor does win the car or some cash good for them. At least the winnings would go to somebody down on their luck.
