Going to the Super Bowl is every NFL fan's dream, and one lucky person made that dream a reality just from being observant.
According to Suzan Clarke from ABC News, a man named ScottKnowlton was watching an Old Spice commercial when he noticed a woman scribble a phone number for a man (866-617-4247). Noticing it didn't have a generic "555" number, he decided to call it.
When he called, Scott got the surprise of a lifetime.
The number was for an Old Spice spokesman, and he was given two free tickets to the Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium. Scott was one of just two people to call the number and win tickets.
Along with the tickets, Scott received $500 in spending money, $2,500 to offset taxes and a three-night stay at a four-star hotel in Times Square.
It's safe to say that Scott is one happy man.

that is cool but now if you don't put a 555 number, you will get 30-million phone calls (in movies, commercials, advertisements, etc.)

exactly why it's cool they did that, they new they would, and probably the first time it's paid off that big!

I wonder how long it was from the first time the commercial was aired to the time when someone first called.
