Greg Wilson, a 51-year-old IT consultant from Calgary, kicked his way to big winnings, taking home $31,000 in the seventh annual Wendy’s Kick for a Million finale on October 14, 2011. The big event took place on TSN during halftime of the CFL ON TSN: WENDY’S FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL broadcast featuring Calgary @ Toronto at Rogers Centre.

Wilson attempted field goals ranging in distance from 20 to 50 yards, with lucrative prizes awarded for each successful kick. While Wilson’s kicks fell short from 20, 30, 40 and 50 yards, he did receive $1,000 for every yard the ball travelled through the air from the 50-yard line, netting him $31,000 cash.

Prizes up for grabs tonight included the $1 million in a one-time payout for a successful 50-yard field goal, as well as a Samsung $25,000 Family Package, a 2011 Nissan Titan Crew Cab Pro and $100,000 cash for successful 20-, 30- and 40-yard attempts, respectively.

Wilson was randomly selected from nearly 18 million total entries – the most ever in the history of the contest. Thank you to all who entered!
