AT&T Drives Home a Win for One Lucky Sweeps Winner and Three Friends for VIP Access to AT&T National
With one quick text message, die-hard golf fan Don Landrum of Texas was today named the winner of the AT&T* “Favorite Foursome” AT&T National Sweepstakes, granting him and three friends front-row access to watch golf’s finest tee off over July 4 weekend.
“I enjoy watching PGA tournaments on TV and I’ve always wanted to see the players live in action,” said Landrum of West, Texas. “Thanks to this opportunity from AT&T, my wife, two friends and I are making my dream a reality. And what’s cooler is that I was able to enter using text messaging — which I use several times a day.”
Between June 8 and June 22, AT&T invited golf-lovers to enter for the chance to win four VIP tickets to the final two days of the 2009 AT&T National Tournament. Landrum, who entered the sweepstakes via text message, along with three friends will receive VIP tickets to the AT&T National, round-trip travel to and from the event, hotel accommodations, $400 spending cash to purchase merchandise on-site, and exclusive access to tournament events between June 30 and July 5 at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md.
Connecting fans with the technology they love most, AT&T offered a variety of ways to enter to win the “Fan Favorite Foursome” sweepstakes, including entry through AT&T’s page on Facebook and via text message, in which all wireless users across carriers could enter to win by texting TRIP** to 21234 from their wireless phone. Alternative free methods not requiring texting were also available through mail-in participation.
“We’re pleased to give Don and his friends VIP access to a premier golf tournament this year – the AT&T National,” said Tim McGhee, executive director, AT&T Corporate Sponsorships. “We opened the contest to text message entries and notified Don about the exciting news via e-mail. Using these channels, we have been able to engage and excite more golf fans than ever before, and we’re excited to continue to use them to bring our fans closer to the action in the future, too.”
