Taco Bell And The Million Dollar Swing

A month or so back, we told you about Taco Bell's latest promotion: proposing to your significant other during a nationally-televised game on FOX in July. Well, the restaurant is not stopping there. During the pre-game festivites at this year's All-Star Game in San Francisco, it's time to swing for the fences.

Taco Bell's "Swing for a Million" promotion will be shown during FOX's coverage of the All-Star Game's pre-game ceremonies with one contestant receiving three attempts to "swing for the fences" from a tee at home plate with a real chance at walking away with some cash. One power slug of 280 feet on the fly and our contestant becomes an instant millionaire. Swings falling short of 280 feet may still win a heavy payout as a 255 foot blast will reward $250,000 and a 230 foot drive will secure $100,000. Fans are encouraged to enter for a chance-to-"Swing for a Million" by logging onto www.mlb.com/tacobellallstar from now through Sunday, June 24, 2007.

"We love baseball and want to celebrate baseball's fans by giving them a unique 'inside the game' chance they won't soon forget," said Bob Fulmer, interim chief marketing officer, Taco Bell Corp. "This is a fantastic opportunity for a fan to take the field with some of baseball's biggest stars and get a shot at becoming a millionaire."

Off a tee, this seems like a particularly daunting task. But, I mean, they're not going to just hand you a million bucks. Also, I encourage you to apply. I'll only charge a 60 100 percent finders fee if you win.
