Kevin Vosburgh, 36, of Calgary is preparing for the kick of his life - a 50-yard field goal worth $1 million. The big event will air live nationally in High Definition on TSN HD during the CFL on TSN: Wendy's Friday Night Football halftime show featuring B.C. at Toronto on Friday, Oct. 3 at 7 pm et/4pm pt.
Vosburgh defeated Omar Kassim of Kitchener, ON, in the Wendy's Kick for a Million semifinal at Rogers Centre in Toronto on Thursday. Vosburgh was the only participant to successfully kick a field goal from the 20-yard line. The semifinal event is now available on demand at TSN.ca.
Vosburgh's name was randomly drawn from more than 2.8 million total entries - the most ever in the four-year history of TSN's international award-winning million-dollar giveaway, Wendy's Kick for a Million.
Friday evening during the Wendy's Kick for a Million halftime show, Vosburgh will attempt four field goals ranging in distance from 20 to 50 yards, with lucrative prizes awarded for each successful kick leading up to the $1 million grand prize. This year's prizes are as follows:
20 yards - $25,000 Future Shop gift card
30 yards - Gridiron Edition Nissan Titan
40 yards - $100,000 cash
50 yards - $1,000,000 in a one-time payment
