Win $10,000 in Vernon: How the Last Number Standing Giveaway Works

Winners of the $10,000 Giveaway. They decided to split the prize.

Buy an eligible new Ford at Watkin Motors before Tuesday, September 29 at 5:00 PM Pacific and you receive a number. On Wednesday, October 14, numbers come off the board one at a time until a single number is left. That number wins $10,000 cash.

It is a simple idea, but there is one condition people miss — and missing it is the difference between winning and watching.

READ THIS PART TWICE

You have to be in the room to win.

To be eligible to win, you must be in attendance at the draw. If you cannot make it on October 14, you may designate someone to attend in your place. A number left unattended cannot claim the prize — so if the date is a problem, arrange your stand-in early rather than on the day.

How Last Number Standing actually works

This is not a hat with names in it. Every qualifying purchase gets a number, and on draw night those numbers are eliminated one by one. Each elimination leaves fewer numbers on the board. The last number still standing takes the $10,000.

It means the tension builds instead of ending in a second, and it means everyone in the room is still alive until their number comes off. It also means the fewer numbers issued, the better every holder’s position — which is why the numbers are limited to the first 100 qualifying customers while they remain available.

The evening of October 14

The draw is at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, October 14, at Watkin Motors Ford on 27th Street.

It is an invitation-only evening for number holders, and you are welcome to bring a guest. There will be appetizers, refreshments and other prizes on the night, so it is worth arriving with time rather than walking in as the first number comes off.

If you are holding a number, further details about the draw and attendance will come to you directly before the date.

What the $10,000 is — and what it is not

Worth being plain about this, because it changes how you should think about it.

The $10,000 is a cash prize. It is not a discount, a rebate, or money taken off the price of the vehicle you buy. Your vehicle is priced on its own terms — during this event, that means Ford Employee Pricing plus whatever incentives you already qualify for. The giveaway sits on top of that as a separate chance to win, not as part of the deal on the truck.

So the arithmetic on your purchase should make sense to you before the giveaway is ever mentioned. If it does, the number is a bonus.

How to get a number

  1. Buy an eligible new Ford from Watkin Motors by Tuesday, September 29 at 5:00 PM Pacific.
  2. Receive your number when the purchase qualifies.
  3. Come to the draw at 6:00 PM on October 14 — or send someone in your place.

The 29th is the real last day here. The national Employee Pricing event runs to September 30, but we are closed that day for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, so the 29th is the last day to sign with us.
