The Daily News pays $1,000 for a home run hit in the Payoff inning and $10,000 for a grand slam. Contestants whose batter fails to hit a home run receive a gift pack, which includes a variety of Phillies-related items.

This season, the Daily News has paid out $3,000.

You can hear the Home Run Payoff inning during each Phillies broadcast on WPHT (1210-AM).
