EPrize's Wrestling Contest Draws Huge Web Spike

Pleasant Ridge-based ePrize LLC is responsible for one of the largest Internet traffic spikes in promotions history, a million-dollar giveaway from WWE.

Vince McMahon's Million Dollar Mania, announced on last week's WWE Monday Night Raw, saw more than 650,000 fans register for the sweepstakes in four days.

"WWE fans are known for their unwavering devotion and enthusiasm," said Josh Linkner, ePrize CEO. "The tremendous passion of WWE fans is demonstrated in their overwhelming response to the sweepstakes as soon as Vince McMahon announced the chance to win $1 million of his own personal fortune. The power of the prize is again proven to move viewers to action."

To accommodate the most passionate fans in the world, within two hours of the initial announcement of the promotion, ePrize doubled its allocated server capacity. This new technology will allow for over a million registrants per hour.

Until McMahon decides to close his wallet, dedicated supporters and new WWE converts may log onto WWE.com for their chance to win. The first winner will be called live during this Monday's RAW from Oakland, Calif.

EPrize, the leader in interactive promotions, works with 74 of the top 100 brands in 36 countries. Launching over 4,000 programs since 1999, ePrize registers 99.85 percent promotion uptime. In 2007, 184.2 million users played ePrize promotions resulting in 1.18 billion page views and over 1.9 million prizes awarded worldwide.
