REIDSVILLE, N.C. — As the countdown to Super Bowl LVII continues, one Reidsville couple is on the way to join the fun, and Thursday we caught up with them before they boarded the plane to Arizona.
Chris and Ashlyn Gibbs are diehard Carolina Panthers fans. Although their team isn't headed to the big game, this couple is. It's all thanks to one selfie.
One Sunday morning last fall, Ashlyn and Chris Gibbs were shopping at their local Walmart, as they prepared for some Panther football.
"I saw a Pepsi display that said take a selfie and enter to win a chance to go to the Super Bowl, and I did, and we won", Ashlyn Gibbs said.
Now the couple is headed to Glendale, Arizona to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity but Chris wasn't so sure when his wife first let me know the news.
"I thought it was a scam. I started looking into the company. It was a Pepsi display, but it was a different company that reached out about the tickets. I saw them on the BBB and was like I think this is legit let's reach back out. They emailed us back and we did win the grand prize", Chris Gibbs told us.
That grand prize includes two plane tickets to Arizona, a beautiful hotel room in downtown Phoenix, tickets to the game of course, and much more.
"We got two tickets to the taste of the NFL party at Chateau Luxe. 16 celebrity chefs and food from all 32 NFL Cities. It's just going to be one big nice party," Chris Gibbs went on to tell us.
