"It's been an amazing experience from start to finish, and we reach the crescendo on Sunday," said Terry Kalna, the team's Senior Vice President of Sales and Broadcasting. "The Penguins and our corporate partners have teamed up since October to create season-long activation among fans in many different, creative ways. It's been fun. When you add it all up, we had more than 250,000 fans register to win throughout the season. We want to thank everyone for participating along the way - and we say 'good luck' to the 50 Golden Ticket winners on Sunday."
Each of the 50 Golden Ticket winners has already collected a special prize, including:
The estimated value of these prizes (separate of the grand prize) was $200,000.
Immediately before Sunday's the game, the 50 Golden Ticket winners will be introduced as a group on the ice. A Penguins representative then will select one of 50 lottery balls at random to determine the winner of the grand prize - two season tickets for 20 years!
