New Jersey City University student Sean Wilson figured he'd watch the Super Bowl on some big screen TV.

But those plans changed today when the Jersey City man found out he won a pair of tickets for Sunday's game in a promotional contest by the Castrol motor oil company.

"I couldn't believe it," said Wilson, who turned 25 last week. "I think the contest is an awesome opportunity for people who can't afford to go to this once-in-a-lifetime event. I'm so grateful."
The Castrol Edge Super Bowl Ticket Blitz contest, which ran from Jan. 22 through today, asked football fans to take a picture next one of three locations across New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.

Wilson snapped a photo of himself near the Journal Square PATH station and within hours was informed that he and a guest would be attending the game.

Wilson, a Dallas Cowboys fan who will be rooting for the Seahawks, plans to bring his father to the game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
