INDIANAPOLIS -- Ten Indianapolis Colts fans vied for a chance to win a trip to the Super Bowl, and one lucky fan used his arm to get a leg up on the competition.

A contest on Wednesday night involved armchair quarterbacks who threw footballs while sitting down, with loved ones watching and cameras rolling, 6News' Dan Spehler reported. The winner got an all-expenses-paid trip to Miami for the game, thanks to Papa John's.
"It's a huge deal, especially for us people that can't afford tickets," said Tony Vance, who hoped to win tickets.

Contestants sat in a recliner with a box of wings in one hand and threw a football in an empty parking lot. The person who threw the ball the longest would win an all-expenses-paid trip to the Super Bowl.

"The best throw tonight is the guy who goes to the big game," said Phil Olivencia of Papa John's pizza, who ran the contest.

The first contestant, Dave Norris, didn't fare too well.

"Im sure with that distance it will probably be close to last place," Norris said.

Brett Moore took the lead with a throw of more than 70 feet, but had to wait as more contestants got their shot. Everyone came up short, and Moore took home the prize.

"I did not think it was going to happen," Moore said. "I guess I'm speechless right now."

Moore said he plans to take his girlfriend with him to the game. The same contest happened in Chicago.

One day before the Super Bowl, Moore will compete against Chicago's winner to see who will be crowned America's ultimate armchair quarterback.
