From the fine print

What the rules say

16 notes

Disqualifiers4

Any one of these can void an entry or a win.

    Show the rules' wording· sec. 3F

    “on a plain 4” x 6” postcard (ENVELOPE ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED), legibly handprint in black ink”

  • Someone else filling out or mailing the postcard voids it — the entrant must do it themselves.

    “Entries submitted or completed by anyone other than the Entrant are void.”

  • No photocopied or mechanically reproduced postcards accepted.

Advantages8

Things in the rules that work in your favor.

  • The postcard's base 51 entries also qualify for the site's current purchase multiplier (250x as archived) if marked correctly — a free postcard could be worth 12,750+ entries.

    Show the rules' wording· sec. 3F

    “To receive the multiplier, please include the words “ADDITIONAL ENTRIES” hand-written in the bottom left-hand side of the postcard and the date so that the correct multiplier can be applied to the entries.”

  • Hand-writing “STICKER” on the postcard doubles it to 102 entries at no extra cost.

    Show the rules' wording· sec. 3F

    “To receive double entries, hand write “STICKER” in the bottom righthand corner of the postcard.”

  • Per-entrant cap is 1,000,000 entries across all methods — effectively uncapped, so mail-ins can match even the largest buyer.

    Show the rules' wording· sec. 3

    “Regardless of the method of entry, there is a limit of one million (1,000,000) entries per Entrant during the Sweepstakes Period.”

  • If the truck is unavailable the sponsor may pay $62,500 cash instead, and separately the winner can opt into a much smaller $21,666 cash payout in lieu of the vehicle.

    Show the rules' wording· sec. 5

    “In the event that the vehicle is unavailable the Sponsor reserves the right to award the Grand Prize Winner $62,500USD cash in the form of a check in lieu of the vehicle. Grand Prize Winner may opt-in to select $21,666USD cash in lieu of the vehicle.”

  • A paid Facebook subscription to the Gas Monkey Garage page is worth a flat 500 entries, separate from the $1-per-dollar purchase math.

    Show the rules' wording· sec. 3C

    “To receive five hundred (500) entries, you must be a paid subscription member of the Gas Monkey Garage Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/GasMonkeyGarage/subscribe/ ) and remain a paid subscriber up to the time of prize award.”

  • A paid YouTube channel membership is likewise worth a flat 500 entries.

    “To receive five hundred (500) entries, you must be a paid member of the Gas Monkey YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/c/GasMonkeyGarage ) and remain a paid member up to the time of prize award.”

  • Booking a $250 (+$15 fee) Cameo video from Richard Rawlings is worth 250 entries, and the current site multiplier applies to that purchase too.

    Show the rules' wording· sec. 3E

    “Visit https://www.cameo.com/rrrawlings?qid=1787588275&aaQueryId=332e7f29eaf68c14809265198bb21f44 to book a cameo video for Richard Rawlings to receive two hundred and fifty (250) entries.”

  • Minimum entry age is as low as 18 (19 in AL/NE, 21 in MS) and the cap is per-entrant, not per-household, so multiple eligible family members can each mail their own postcard.

    Show the rules' wording· sec. 2

    “at least eighteen (18) years of age or older or nineteen (19) in Alabama and Nebraska and twenty-one (21) in Mississippi”

Timing1

Costs2

    “Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for lost, late, misdirected, illegible, postage due or damaged mailed entries.”

  • Winner pays all registration, license, title and insurance fees plus all taxes on the truck.

    “Grand Prize Winner will be solely responsible for any applicable registration, license, title and insurance fees, all taxes (federal, state, local , municipal, sales and/or income) and any expenses not listed herein related to the acceptance and use of the Grand Prize.”

Oddities1

  • The rules misprint the truck's own ARV figure — '$62,5and travel' — a likely copy/paste error; cross-referenced against the later $62,500 cash-in-lieu clause and the $65,000 total ARV.

    Show the rules' wording· sec. 5

    “Grand Prize Winner will be awarded a 2026 Dodge DC650 ($62,5and travel for Grand Prize Winner and one (1) guest to Richard Rawling’s personal garage in Dallas, TX (the “Grand Prize”).”
