PRNewswire: Shell ‘Million Gallon Giveaway’ Promotion to Award Free Gasoline to More Than 200,000 Drivers

Six Lucky Winners Will Each Receive Lifetime Supply of Free Gasoline

HOUSTON, July 31 /PRNewswire/ — 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 today 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 Karen Wildman, brand and communications manager for Shell, this promotion is sure to resonate with consumers. “Who doesn’t want to win free gasoline? Anybody you ask will probably tell you that they would love to receive a $10 Shell Gas Card to use towards your next fill-up. It’s great being able to reward customers coming to our stations, let alone awarding six lucky winners with a lifetime supply of Shell gasoline.”

Wonder what someone would do with a lifetime supply of gas? Americans already have a good idea if they won the prize. According to a recent survey* conducted by Shell, the majority of Americans (76 percent) said that if they won a lifetime supply of gasoline they would share it with family and friends. Some respondents said they would actually take specific actions if they won, with 23 percent choosing to drive across the country and nine percent buying a bigger or different car.

How to Enter

From July 31 through October 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). 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, and determining whether a card is a winner is as simple as scratching the card to reveal the hidden message. Holders of the six grand-prize-winning cards 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 October 31, 2006 to redeem their prize.

About the Campaign

To help people get the most from every fuel purchase they do make, each “Million Gallon Giveaway” scratch-and-win sweepstakes card will feature a money-saving fuel tip related to driving or vehicle maintenance habits that can improve fuel efficiency.

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.
