HOUSTON -- Drivers nationwide who stop by their local Shell stations now have a chance to win free gasoline for life through the Shell Million Gallon Giveaway. Starting this week and continuing through October 1, Shell will give away more than $2 million in free fuel and instant-win prizes, 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.
According to a recent survey conducted by Shell, the majority of Americans (76%) said that if they won a lifetime supply [image-nocss] of gasoline they would share it with family and friends. Some respondents said they would actually take specific actions if they won, with 23% choosing to drive across the country and 9% buying a bigger or different car.
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). More than 200,000 winners will receive a $10 Shell Gift Card. Official rules are available at participating Shell stations. There is no purchase necessary to enter or to win.
The Million Gallon Giveaway is part of the $30 million marketing campaign Shell launched in June 2006 to communicate its message that that all gasolines are not the same. The summer campaign is designed to educate consumers that all Shell gasolines surpass government standards for detergency and 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.
