San Antonio Scorpions News Release


SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Friday, September 26, 2014) - The first Scorpions goal of the night could be worth $1,000,000 at the next home match on Saturday, October 4, against Ottawa Fury FC! The San Antonio Scorpions in conjunction with local broadcast partner KSAT 12 will give every fan 18 and older in attendance at Toyota Stadium on October 4 the chance to win the life-changing prize.

"We wanted to do something unique, something big and fun for our fans as a thank you for their incredible support this season," said Scorpions President and General Manager Howard Cornfield. "We have a company covering the prize award, so we really want a Scorpions fan to walk away a millionaire! I think this could be the best odds most people will ever have to win a million dollars, so I hope fans will come out for a great Scorpions match against Ottawa and a chance to change their lives forever."

Before the match, a representative from SCA Promotions will randomly select a minute of the game (1-90, extra time in each half will count for the 45' or 90' minute). The "Scorpions Magic Minute" will be safeguarded by security personnel on the field until being unveiled at the conclusion of the match.

At a designated point in time during the evening, a name will be drawn from the on-site registrations. The selected person must be on-site and present themselves at the designated location within five minutes, or another name will be drawn. Then the Scorpions Magic Minute will be revealed at the center of the field and if San Antonio scored their first goal of the game during the randomly selected Scorpions magic minute, that lucky fan will win $1,000,000 cash prize!

"We at KSAT 12 are happy and proud to be associated with the San Antonio Scorpions on this giant giveaway, and on every home game," said Phil Lane, Vice President and General Manager of KSAT 12. "The Scorpions give back to Morgan's Wonderland with every ticket sold, and to honor the fans with a Million Dollar prize is phenomenal. Any time the fans can be rewarded for their support is a big win for all!"
