NP Dodge may Give Away $150,000 at the Thursday, Sept. 1 Royals Game

Omaha, NE - One lucky Omaha Royals fan may go home with more than a good time after the Royals? last home game of the season on Thursday.

NP Dodge Company will give away $150,000 cash ? to be used toward a new house or other expenses ? if the final contestant of 36 finalists can hit a home run from home plate. The
NP Dodge Home Run Derby is part of the company?s 150th Anniversary Celebration.

Thirty-five finalists were selected randomly throughout the season and each had a chance to hit a home run, batting from behind second base. Seven of the finalists have hit a home run, winning a trip to Kansas City. One last person will be randomly chosen during Thursday night?s game to join the others.

At the end of Thursday?s 7:05 game, the finalists will be entered in a drawing, and one will be chosen to try and hit a home run from home plate. If successful in hitting the ball over the fence, he or she will win the grand prize from NP Dodge.
