TOUCHDOWN! GET READY TO WIN A 'SUPERBONUS'!
Do you eat, breathe and sleep football? Then get ready to turn that National Football League know-how into cash!

Take part in PartyPoker.com's $1,000,000 Touchdown promotion and you could win a share of $1,000,000 just for answering a few questions about the National Football League! Yes, you read that right - a cool one million dollars.

Here's how it works:
START DATE: Tuesday, December 6, 2005; 12:01 a.m. (ET)
END DATE: Saturday, January 28, 2006; 11:59 p.m. (ET)

All you have to do is reach a minimum of 30 regular Party points on each promotion day (Tuesdays to Saturdays) and you'll be asked a question on the following day from 09:00 a.m. (ET) relating to NEXT Sunday/Monday night's games.

For example, reach 30 regular Party points on Tuesday and you will get access to the question on Wednesday from 09:00 a.m. (ET).
First question will be accessible on Wednesday, December 7, 2005 from 09:00 a.m. (ET).
Final question will be accessible on Sunday, January 29, 2006 from 09:00 a.m. (ET).

To check if you have reached the minimum points total and to access the questions, go to the 'My Account' login page and click the link saying '$1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion'.

So what do I win?
Players who answer at least four out of five questions correctly each week will get a bonus of $50!
Players who answer all five questions correctly get a bonus of $100!
After eight weeks, we will have asked a total of 40 questions.

Each player who answers ALL 40 questions correctly will share a GRAND PRIZE of $1,000,000!
Now that's what we call a game plan!
Important notes:
First question will be accessible on Wednesday, December 7, 2005 from 09:00 a.m. (ET).
Final question will be accessible on Sunday, January 29, 2006 from 09:00 a.m. (ET). Winners will get their cash prizes on Thursday, February 9, 2006.

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

Seems like a good deal if I'm reading it correctly...

Play 100 hands of 2/4 every day Tues-Sat and get the questions right and it's basically a 5x raked hand $100 bonus for 8 weeks...

Is that right? Sounds really, really good to me. Too bad I have to miss 2 weeks of this because of vacation and have no s hot at the share of 1,000,000.

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

What do you want to bet that the questions are NOT trivia related, but will have something to do with picking the outcome of the game (e.g., How many field goals will be kicked, etc.) Otherwise, it'd be too easy to get all 40correct.

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

Wouldn't this make it nearly impossible to get 4 out of 5 right?

Also where are the questions going be located?

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

anyone know how many rh of NL 30points would be.

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

150

"All No Limit and Pot Limit Tables 4 Party Points for every 20 raked hands played on these tables in a day"

160 hands at 10 cent rake, actually 150 but since they only give you 4pts/20 raked hands you have to play increments on 20 raked hands.

Suppose you want to see Thursday's question. Timer starts on Wed. at 12:01 AM EST and you have to have your hands played by 11:59 PM EST the same day? Or will hands played at 3AM will count toward the question coming at 9AM the same day? I assume the first but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Hmmm yea it definently could be that the way its worded. And to think i was about to applaud party for a really unique and generous bonus.

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

oh wow I didn't look that closely at it. 4/5 or 5/5 in a week will be really tough, even if the questions are 50/50 - ie. who wins the game, over/under, etc. 40/40? sounds like a lottery. and if they throw in all questions like how many TD's will X throw, there's a decent chance that not 1 player even wins the $1mil. forget this...

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

if it was simply guessing one choice or the other for 40 questions the odds of getting all 40 right are about 1 in 110 billoin. I doubt anyone will get the 1 million even though its not outright guessing.

5/5 is 1 in 32
4/5 i am not sure about think its around 1 in 4.

I think it would be close to impossible to achieve this if the questions are in fact related to the outcome or some other undetermined aspect of the game. Maybe the questions will be trivia based and party will have put together a great bonus for us players, or maybe, as i fear, they put together a brilliant bonus for them.

It's silly the way they set it up; they would be better off offering some lesser amount $100k or whatever for the top score at the end of the promo. Fish will stop chasing the million bucks as soon as they bust a single weekly question.

Can we set up a 2p2 thread on NFL Football quiz answers??

But they still have the weekly bonuses to keep them going. And if it is outcome related then players wont know if they are right or wrong till the end of the week, therefore they will try to answer all 5 questions.

4/5 is 5 combos of 4 right nad 1 combo of 5 right, which is 6/32 or 3/16.

So slighly less than 1/4.

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

so where do i tell how many points i've earned so far every night? Thanks

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

it will tell you under 'my account' how many points you have earned the previous day. there is no real-time updating.

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

Party is really pushing hard to hit the magic 1 bllion revenue number for the year. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some other promos before the end of the year!

As to this promo, we should have some idea whether this is a reasonable deal or not, after seeing the first question in a few hours.

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

Anybody get into it yet, tells me i have to wait until 9am est, which it is.

Yeah, I am anxious to see what the first question's format would be like. That'd tell us what we should be expecting for the rest of this promotion.

In any case, I think I have to thank Party for giving us another "bonus" option... I'm already trying for Santa's Party Pack promotion... that requires 100 pts for December so with this Touchdown promotion, I'm already covered as I already would hit the 30 pts....

Cheers,

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

11:20, still no question.

Also, does anyone know anything about the $250,000 BlackJack Tournament that is advertised, but only has a broken link when u click it?

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

Now it is 12:40pm EST, and still no question...

this is funny... they can't even do a promotion right these days... (see other topic here: Party's VIP/Player Club bonus)

You guessed it... I'm still waiting for my oh-so-wonderful tiny bonus from getting enough Player Points between Nov 18th-Dec 2nd. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Thank you for taking the time to answer the question.



Today's question..


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1: Which team will win the game on December 12?
a) : New Orleans
b) : Atlanta

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

My question was up.

It was Which team will win the game on Dec. 12th
New Orleans or Atlanta

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

Atlanta's at -600 so that's clearly the best choice.

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

Got the question now too. This is what I was afraid of, it's not a 'trivia' question, it's a prediction. This does not bode well for getting 5/5 right for the $100 (although Atlanta seems like an easy pick here, anything can happen). I was hoping it would be more like "what QB threw for the most yardage last week", something you could look up.

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

Leave it to Party to take a great concept and turn it into something useless. Personally I would have made sure I played every day. What they should have done was make the first 4 questions simple and then make the 5th one something like chosing who would win a certain game.

Meh. Play everyday for a chance at a 5 game parlay for $100. I play everyday anyways, I guess. It's a pretty lame promotion, though.

Lefty Rosenthal couldn't get 40 in a row.

Re: PartyPoker.com’s $1,000,000 Touchdown Promotion
 

Just be thankful it doesn't involve point spreads. (Yet)
