OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Mutual of Omaha, proud sponsor of life's aha moments (SM), today announced the launch of an online survey inviting people to vote for their favorite aha moments of the year.

Consumers will be able to view and vote for all of the eligible entries at http://ahamoment.com/vote.

Following the first round of voting, the top 25 vote getters will move into the final round of voting, which begins on October 18th and ends on October 31, 2010. The top-10 moments will become the company's newest television ads. The website will also allow people to encourage others to vote by sharing their favorite moments via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and other popular social media outlets.
