Global Spectrum today announced that Laura Hughes of Galloway, NJ has been selected as the winner of this year’s “Chairman of the Boardwalk” Sweepstakes. As winner, Hughes will be awarded a pair of tickets to every event at the legendary venue for one whole year through Memorial Day 2016.

“I can’t believe I won”, said Hughes. “I’m very excited and this will be a great opportunity to get out to Atlantic City which I don’t get to do that often. I get to see Madonna, how awesome is that?!”

Hughes and a guest will now have the opportunity to attend the following upcoming events at Boardwalk Hall:

DraftKings Boardwalk Bowl: Philadelphia Soul vs. Las Vegas Outlaws: May 30
Romeo Santos: June 26
The Eagles: July 17
Kapil Sharma: July 25

Any unannounced upcoming event taking place between May 30, 2015 and May 30, 2016

Additionally, Hughes will be entitled to a free parking spot at Boardwalk Hall for each event.

Last year, Glen Butterworth of Stratford, NJ was the winner of Global Spectrum’s first-ever Chairman of the Boardwalk sweepstakes. Butterworth received a pair of tickets to every event at Boardwalk Hall and a hotel room from Caesars Atlantic City for each event night from Memorial Day 2014 through Memorial Day 2015. Of his experience, Butterworth said, “It has been really cool. Mostly every month there would be a weekend or two where my girlfriend and I would go down to Atlantic City to see a free concert, sporting event, or show and it was always good time. My advice to the next Chairman of the Boardwalk is to take advantage of the summer coming up. It’s going to be a great experience being able to enjoy the beach and the boardwalk while attending all of the great upcoming summer shows at Boardwalk Hall.”

This year’s four-week Chairman of the Boardwalk sweepstakes was launched on Tuesday, April 28 and ran through 12 p.m. today. Fans were able to enter the contest daily through www.boardwalkhall.com. The contest was promoted through the website as well as all Boardwalk Hall social media outlets using official hashtag #IWantToBeChairman.
