49ers fan wins $1.5 million from Esurance Super Bowl ad

There wasn't much to be happy about last Sunday if you're a San Francisco 49ers fan. After all, you had to watch the Seattle Seahawks, your division rivals and team that eliminated you from the playoffs, throttle the Denver Broncos to win the Super Bowl. On top of that, you had to watch an uneventful Super Bowl with bad commercials. Sunday was not a fun day for 49ers fans.

But following the game, Esurance aired a commercial explaining that they were giving away $1.5 million to one lucky person who tweeted out the hash tag #EsuranceSave30.

If you have a pulse and have a Twitter account, you likely tweeted #EsuranceSave30 either on Sunday night or early Monday. Unfortunately, you didn't win. A guy named John did, and John is a San Francisco 49ers fan.

So there you have it.

You didn't win the #EsuranceSave30 prize, a guy in a 49ers hat did.
