SAN FRANCISCO — Nanette Prolo and Paula Piatt had no idea what they’d gotten themselves into.
Prolo and Piatt had won one of Verizon’s Minute50 prizes, a prize for a promotional campaign that asked fans to text a number every hour on the 50th minute while Super Bowl City, the massive fan experience in the heart of downtown San Francisco, was open.
All they’d been told was that they won a personal NFL experience. For a while, Prolo and Piatt assumed they’d won tickets to Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, figuring it couldn’t get any more personal than that.
