PLEASANT RIDGE, Mich., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The devoted fans of the WWE have proven their extreme loyalty once again by making history with Vince McMahon's Million Dollar Mania. The promotion announced on WWE Monday Night RAW blew away expectations as McMahon's act of generosity spawned extreme excitement resulting in an unprecedented amount of Web traffic. More than 650,000 fans have registered for the promotion earning over a million sweepstakes entries in the last four days alone.
"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. "When considering a promotion of this magnitude we needed to ensure the right partner was in place," said Monty Ross, Vice President of Marketing for World Wrestling Entertainment. "Since the WWE is the leader in live entertainment, the choice was obvious -- ePrize, the leader in promotions."
Until Mr. 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, California. Call him eccentric, call him crazy but with a million dollars at stake, the fans of the WWE will be hoping Mr. McMahon calls them as the winner on Monday, June 9, 2008.
