progressive money pot


bar & I both put in $10 each for a total of $20 per drawing.

minimum you can win is $10 garrantied!

rules:
1. must be present to win
2. must have been at previous show & sang previous night and night of the drawing to qualify for the big bucks if not then they just get $10.

use 2 part tickets, cause they loose the 2nd half all the time. and then just call the number on the ticket. if you have them write name on ticket then they win more often.

i draw the big money ticket at 12am. if they were at previous show and tonights show then they win the entire pot. i've gave out almost $300 one night. if only at tonights show then they only win $10.

if no winner with the first ticket then we draw for $10 until we get a winner.

doing 3 nights a week this pot ads up quickly.

just hand out the tickets after they sing, i never reminded then to put in tickets before the drawing.. snooze you loose!

the drunker they got the more ticket they lost....

if you do the drawing to early then everyone sings and leaves....
if you do it to late then they come in late sing a song just for the drawing

have lots of people that love it....


I don't understand how does $20 turn into $300?
are you charging an entrance fee?


a lot of $10 winners for several weeks, with no one winning the big pot...
no entrance fee...

the bar and I personally contributed $10 each for a total of $20 a show entered into the pot.

so you are saying that you and the bar are putting in $10 each every night you run the contest?

That's what it looks like to me :)

Twenty bucks go into the pot each night ($10 from KJ & $10 from bar). At midnight, when they draw the first ticket, IF someone has that ticket, they claim the $20. If no one claims .. then they draw again but the 2nd person is only eligible for $10. Therefore $10 stays in the pot for the next night. The next night, $20 is added to the pot (total in pot is $30 now).... when they draw that night; again the first drawn ticket is for the $30 but if no one claims it.. the 2nd drawing is only eligible for $10. Which means the pot has now grown to $40 for the 3rd nights drawing.

This is great idea, and I would be willing to put in $10 each night.... but my bar wouldn't! The bartender might....
I may talk to my venues and see if we could do this.

Need some ideas for fun karaoke contest

Instead of a contest for money, how about you get with the bar and do little contests for drink tabs. 1st place a 25$ drink tab, 2nd and $15 tab and 3rd a free drink. Keeps it friendly, keeps it among your regulars, and would drum up more business for the bar.


The Liquor Commission (here in Michigan) prohibits any contest where you are paid off in alcohol. You can't even win wine or champagne.

What I used to do is have a drawing. Every time you sing, your name goes into the drawing. At the end of the night, we would draw a name, and the winner would win either a gift certificate for food, or a T-shirt from the bar.

The food works well, because they have to come back to eat it, and will generally spend more money. It's good will that doesn't cost the bar much.

A few years back our venue hosted the Dick Clark Be A Star - the one where they would be made over to resemble the original singer. It wasn't our responsiblity, they were just holding 1st level auditions there and paid me to run the sound for it on a Sat afternoon - lasted 6 hours.


Funny you should mention this... I was just talking about this with one of my co-workers last week (he doesn't remember seeing this show). That was called "Your Big Break."

That was what it was! Couldn't remember.

Give away some CDGs. I have some extras that I've been thinking about giving away in an event. Many singers do it at home with inferior brands, I've love to hook up a singer with some SC.

it's progressive as long as your putting more then is going out it will add up..

first night if no one wins the big pot there is still $10 to carry over to the next night for a total of $30. if no one wins again then you carry the $20 to the next night for a total of $40.

the bar & I put in every week $10 each for the drawing...

also the bar will have me pull a ticket out every hour and give a drink away until the drawing, and more often if it's a busy night.
