“The house my sister is living in was going to be foreclosed on within a month,” Rich told us. Bensalem, PA – Richard Lasure of Sanford, FL has been announced as the winner of Merit Entertainment’s June Megatouch Nation™ Sweepstakes. Rich, a Megatouch® player of over 6 years, took home $4,000 for having the winning entry, and it couldn’t have come at a better time for him and his family.
“The house my sister is living in was going to be foreclosed on within a month,” Rich told us. “I'm guessing they’re going to try to evict her and the kids before that point. Of course I wanted to help her, but I just didn’t have enough money to do it. We were $4,000 short of saving the house, and we thought there was no way to get that much money so quickly. We didn’t know what to do except pray. It looks like our prayers were answered. The fact that the prize money was exactly the amount we needed makes this even more amazing. We’re going to save the house!” This great story started at Cheers Lake Mary in Lake Mary, FL, which is operated by C&M Darts in Orlando, FL. It was here that Rick played June’s Game of the Month, Video Whiz™, and where he registered the winning entry in the Megatouch Nation sweepstakes. Rich said that although he has been playing Megatouch for years, he never entered any Megatouch event before 4 months ago. He decided to enter because, “I’m going to play my share of Megatouch anyway, and I figured that I may as well get an opportunity for a prize from playing.” So, Rich went to www.megatouchnation.com and got his player key. Player keys cost $4 and can be purchased online, like Rich’s, or they can be purchased at any ION™ that’s connected to Merit’s server through MegaNet. Megatouch Nation is available on every ION, whether it’s connected to Merit’s server or not. However, if it is connected, players can purchase their Megatouch Player Key simply by inserting money into the ION at the location. To log in, the player simply swipes their key at any ION. This will also give them access to the Megatouch Nation Game of the Month. Every time a registered player tops a set score in this game, they automatically receive one entry into the sweepstakes. The more plays, the more entries a player can receive. After all the qualifying entries are received, Merit selects a prizewinner at random. A new winner is selected every month, and only those players entered within the current month are eligible for the drawing. “The IONs are great for business,” said Ken Mahoney of C&M Darts. “The players love the ION, and they also love any kind of national competition or event. They just keep coming back for more.” Bob Mills, Merit’s Vice President, North American Sales, added, “Rich’s story is one that we like to hear. The fact that Megatouch Nation really helped a family out of a bind, makes it all the better for everyone involved. We look forward to hearing more of these stories in the months to come. For obvious reasons, Megatouch Nation attracts the attention of the player like nothing else. It has caused great excitement and coin drop. It’s something that you should certainly inform all of your locations and players about.” For more than 27 years, Merit has ensured long-term return on investment for operators by providing continually high-earning equipment along with updates and upgrades for its products.
