A full tank of gas given away every month
One winner takes the tank. Ten runner-ups take gas cards.
Every month we give away one full tank of gas — up to 15 gallons — and ten runner-ups win $10, $20 or $30 gas cards. Approved submissions earn entries into the drawing; the more you have, the better your shot. Won before? You can win again — winning never removes you from future drawings.
