The New Orleans Pelicans today announced a “We Win, You Win” Sweepstakes for the NBA In-Season Tournament, a new annual competition for all 30 teams that will debut in the 2023-24 regular season.
If New Orleans wins the championship of the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament, the Pelicans will give away $1 million in sweepstakes prize money to one hundred eligible participants – amounting to $10,000 each.
“The NBA In-Season Tournament is an innovative way to enhance team competition and fan interest with meaningful games during the regular season,” said Pelicans President Dennis Lauscha. “Teams and players are incentivized to win the inaugural NBA Cup, and we wanted to give our fans an opportunity to win, as well. We are excited to announce this ‘We Win, You Win’ promotion and we look forward to seeing our fans at the Smoothie King Center for these great home matchups.”
Fans can enter to win the “We Win, You Win” Sweepstakes by attending one of the Pelicans’ In-Season Tournament home game at the Smoothie King Center. Participants who purchase or legally obtain at least one mobile ticket and attend one game of either the Group Play or the Quarterfinals portion of the NBA In-Season Tournament at the Smoothie King Center will automatically receive a total of 1,000 entries per game attended. If the Pelicans host a Quarterfinals game at the Smoothie King Center, eligible participants who attend all three In-Season Tournament home games will receive an additional 2,000 entries for a maximum total of 5,000 entries. One hundred grand prize winners will be randomly selected from the field of entries.
The “We Win, You Win” Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the United States and the District of Columbia (excluding residents of New York, Florida, and Rhode Island) who are 18 years of age or older.
