The Super Bowl is the most-watched program on TV each year.
That's a lot for one Franklin College graduate.
Travis Braun produced a commercial that won the Doritos 'Crash the Super Bowl' challenge. Braun and his crew walked away with a million dollars.
"It feels like an eternity from when they the Doritos commercial is the next block until the ad actually airs. That tenth of a second between commercials feels like a lifetime," said Braun.
The commercialBraun produced shows three dogs trying to get into a supermarket to get some Doritos. They use distractions and disguises to get to the chips.
Braun is originally from Texas and lives in L.A. He was a journalism major at Franklin College and graduated in 2010. The director of the ad is Jacob Chase.
Braun isn't the only Franklin College graduate affiliated with Doritos, either: The person credited with creating the Doritos chip is a Franklin College graduate, Arch West. He was from Indianapolis.
So what does Braun plan to do with his winnings? "The first thing is to pay the crew, the cast and crew, for all of their work. I want to buy a toaster. I'm in my studio apartment and I don't have a toaster so I've been cooking my toast in my oven and I feel like that's going to be my first purchase."
