Lifetime Supply of Gasoline Awarded

27/09/2006

Shell Awards Lifetime Supply of Gasoline to Donald Snyder of Chuckey. Local Resident is First to Win One of Six Grand Prizes.

As part of his regular routine, Chuckey resident, Donald Snyder, stopped to buy gasoline at the RoadRunner Shell  store located at 2602 Highway 107 and picked up a game card for the Shell "Million Gallon Giveaway" sweepstakes.  At the time, he didn’t know that he might have bought his last tank of gasoline.

"I got the card, scratched it off right there in the store and I saw that it said 'Grand Prize Winner,' but I didn’t think much of it," said the usually calm Snyder. "It wasn’t until I got home and shared the news with my wife that reality hit me…we just won a lifetime supply of gasoline!"

Snyder is one of six grand-prize winners to whom Shell is awarding a lifetime supply of free gasoline through the "Million Gallon Giveaway" sweepstakes.  He will receive the gasoline in the form of $300 Shell Gift Cards and the total of the prize is worth more than $90,000. 

Snyder plans to share the prize with his immediate family, including his wife who owns her own wide load hauling company. Snyder, a self-employed carpenter continues, "Between the 25,000 miles that I put on my car each year and building a new house, any additional money for daily expenses helps.  This is going to be a prize put to good use."

According to Karen Wildman, brand and communications manager for Shell, "We are very happy for Mr. Snyder and his family.  It feels great to be able to reward customers like Mr. Snyder with prizes that impact their daily lives."

Shell is in the process of verifying three other potential grand-prize winners in the "Million Gallon Giveaway," which leaves two winning cards still unclaimed.  Scratch and win game cards are available at participating Shell stations while supplies last through Oct. 1, 2006.  

There is no purchase necessary to enter or to win, and determining whether a card is a winner is as simple as scratching the card to reveal the hidden message. Consumers who scratch off a winning card should call the toll-free number located near the prize message as soon as possible, and must call no later than 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Oct. 31, 2006, to redeem their prize. 

The Shell “Million Gallon Giveaway” Sweepstakes

Shell has made more than $2 million in free gasoline and instant-win prizes available – including six grand prizes of a lifetime supply of free gasoline – and hundreds of thousands of $10 Shell Gas Cards in the “Million Gallon Giveaway.” 

From July 31 through Oct. 1, 2006, consumers can enter the giveaway by visiting participating Shell locations to pick up an official scratch-and-win game card (the sweepstakes is void in Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia and Puerto Rico).  Official Rules* are available at participating Shell stations.
 
There is no purchase necessary to enter or to win, and determining whether a card is a winner is as simple as scratching the card to reveal the hidden message. Each game piece also provides a fuel saving tip to allow consumers to get the most out of their gasoline purchase. 

The "Million Gallon Giveaway" is part of the $30 million marketing campaign Shell launched in June, 2006 to communicate that all gasolines are not the same. 

The summer campaign builds on the company’s commitment to provide high quality fuel to consumers by educating consumers that all Shell gasolines not only surpass government standards for detergency, they meet top automakers’ highest standard. 

The higher standard, to which the campaign alludes, is the TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standard introduced by BMW, GM, Honda and Toyota.
