Buckeyes fans have taken full advantage of the promotion, despite the fact that Ohio State hasn't shut out Michigan since 1962.
Spokesperson John Higgins told Darren Rovell of The Action Network that customers' purchases have already reached $500,000 in value with half a day left in the promotion - the same amount the company took out in insurance.
"We will self-insure the rest," Higgins said.
