$1-Million Pro Football Challenge to kick off September 8
SHELBYVILLE, Ind. (Friday, September 4, 2009) – Indiana Live! Casino will kick off a $1-Million Pro Football Challenge on September 8 that will test the fortunes of fans who consider themselves gridiron greats.
Live! Rewards Club Members will be eligible to win $1 Million if, at the end of the regular season, they pick the winner of at least 201 professional football games played on Sundays and Mondays. The contest concludes on January 4.
A $2,500 weekly cash prize will be paid to the competitor picking the
most winners. The runner-up each week will receive $500 in Free Slot
Play, which will also be awarded on a weekly basis to the third through
17th-place finishers.
And, you don’t have to be a football expert to participate. Each week,
the person who picks the fewest winners will receive a party for up to 25
guests at NASCAR® Sports Grille inside Indiana Live! Casino. Additional
parties will be awarded to three competitors who conclude the season with
the fewest number of winners. The competitors who pick the second- and third-fewest
winners each week will receive $50 in Free Slot Play.
The $1-Million Pro Football Challenge will start on September 8, the same day that the all new “all-you- can-eat” Live! Market Buffet is unveiled. And if this is not enough, all new and existing Live! Rewards Club Members will be eligible for a one-time offer to receive a FREE Live! Market Buffet on us.

Market, which was recently voted the “Best Buffet” in Indiana, by the Southern Gaming and Destinations Magazine’s “Best of 2009” Readers’ Choice Awards.
