Rochester Man Wins $1 Million From Super Bowl Ad

During the Super Bowl, there was a Mountain Dew Commercial that asked viewers to guess how many bottles of Mountain Dew Major Melon were in the ad. Each viewer had 3 chances to win a million dollars by tweeting the correct number to Mountain Dew’s twitter account.

Rochester’s very own Ryan DePaul guessed right on his first try, and won $1 million from the ad.

“I knew it was coming, and my correct answer, if I’m not mistaken, was the first try — was my very first guess — which is mind blowing to me, but I’m watching and I’m counting as we are watching on TV, and then at one point, at the end of the commercial, a trunk opens and all these bottles fly out of it, so I’m thinking, ‘Okay, add 50 or so to it,’” DePaul said. “Well, then me and my roommate argued for a little bit over the different numbers we had, and we put it in, and I guess, I won that argument.”
