Twitter has declared a victor in the Super Bowl of advertising. McDonald’s received the most mentions on Twitter during Sunday’s big game telecast.
From coin flip to the completion of the New England Patriots’ 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, McDonald’s got 634,310 mentions on Twitter. The fast food giant cleverly goosed its results by offering giveaways related to products advertised by others during the game.
Among the McDonald’s retweet to win sweepstakes offers: a trip to Ecuador, a Mercedes C300, movie tickets for a year, a BMX i3, a ride in a helicopter, several smartphones and a year’s worth of Coca-Cola. The sweepstakes tweets were playful — airline tickets and a suitcase full of Doritos, anyone? — and each got at least 4,000 retweets, led by this one with more than 14,000:

Super Bowl Sets Record For Total Tweets
Overall, Twitter reported a record 28.4 million tweets related to the game, halftime show and commercials. That’s 3.1 million more tweets than the previous Super Bowl record established during the 2014 game. Facebook also reported record interaction for the game, and NBC posted the highest overnight television ratings for a Super Bowl.
More than three million tweets were generated during the halftime show, which featured Katy Perry, Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliot. Twitter created an interactive map that shows how the conversation played out:
Here are moments that generated the biggest peaks of Twitter conversation, measured in tweets per minute, during the live telecast:

Postscript: Twitter released an updated total — 36.04 million — for tweets related to the Super Bowl. The higher number includes a wider time window, three hours before and after the game.

Twitter also reported 2.5 billion impressions on Super Bowl related tweets, up from 1.8 billion in 2014.
