Horseplay Car Giveaway

May 12, 2023 through October 7, 2023

Promotion Date & Time:

Every Friday & Saturday during live racing beginning May 12, 2023 Until the grand prize vehicle giveaway on Saturday, October 7, 2023

Participation Method:

Guests 18 years and older may purchase rubber horses every Friday and Saturday, during live racing, at the track beginning on Friday, May 12, 2023, for only $1.00 each. Following Race 5 on promotion days, participating guests will be asked to throw their horses at the starter’s truck as it makes its way in front of the track apron. Attached to the truck will be a bucket, all horses that make it into the bucket will be eligible for that evening’s four prizes and four qualifier spots for the final car giveaway on Saturday, October 7, 2023.

Regular Promotion Details:

Upon purchasing rubber horses, participating guests will be assigned numbers that are preprinted on each horse they purchase to participate in the promotion. There will be no limit to the number of rubber horses a person may purchase each day.

On each promotional day following Race 5 at the track, the starter’s truck will drive around the track (in front of the track apron) with a bucket attached on it, all participating guests that purchased a rubber horse that evening will be asked to throw their horses and attempt to land them inside the bucket. Once the vehicle has completed its drive, any horses that did not make it into the bucket will be collected and used for future promotional days. The bucket with all the horses that were thrown into it will be brought to the Promotions Desk. From the rubber horses that successfully landed in the bucket, four winners will be drawn. Each horse will then be verified against the log outlining who the participating guest was that purchased the horse. Guests may only win once per promotional day. Should there be a duplicate winner, another horse will be drawn, and this will occur until there are four individual winners on any given promotional day.

The four winners drawn each night will win a $35 racing voucher and a qualifier invitation for the grand prize vehicle giveaway on 10/7/23. Only the four winners chosen during each promotion night in the Horseplay Car Giveaway will be qualified for a chance to win the grand prize on 10/7/23.

On Saturday, October 7, 2023, there will be one final qualifying drawing that will take place following Race 2. The same process outlined above will take place and those final four winners will all have an opportunity to win the grand prize vehicle.

Should there be any cancellation of race days due to inclement weather, lack of entries, or for any other reason, the promotion for that date may be moved to another race day or cancelled and not moved at management’s discretion.

Announcement of Winners/Prize Claim during regular promotion days:

Once four individual winners have been determined from the rubber horses on a promotion night, the winners will be announced and will have five (5) minutes to report to the promotions desk to be verified and to receive their prize and qualification invitation to the grand prize vehicle giveaway on 10/7/23. An acceptable form of valid ID is required to be verified and completion of necessary winner’s paperwork is required to claim their prize. If any winner fails to report within the 5-minute timeframe or they cannot or refuse to provide valid identification, they will forfeit their prize, and another winner will not be chosen in their place. Guests may only win once each promotion day.

Grand Prize Drawing Specifics:

On 10/7/23, all qualified winners from the previous promotional days must return to the Vernon Downs track to participate in the grand prize giveaway. Each qualified winner will receive one entry ticket for each drawing they won during the regular promotion. *Guests may only win once per promotional day but may win on separate promotional days thereby earning themselves more qualifying entries for the final grand prize drawing.

Qualified winners will have from 4pm until the conclusion of Race 4 on 10/7/23 to check in at the track Promotions Desk to claim and have their entry tickets entered into the drawing drum for the grand prize giveaway. At the conclusion of Race 5, five winning tickets will be drawn. Guests that qualified for the grand prize drawing may only win one prize during the grand prize drawing.

Should there be a duplicate winner drawn as part of the five winning tickets, another ticket will be drawn, and this will occur until there are five individual winners that have a chance to win the vehicle. The five individual winners will then be announced and given five (5) minutes to report to the Promotions Desk with an acceptable form of valid identification to be verified. If any winner fails to report within the 5-minute timeframe or they cannot or refuse to provide valid identification, they will forfeit their opportunity to participate, and another winner will be chosen and announced until we have five individual, verified winners.

Once all five winners have been verified, they will participate in a lucky case game to determine their final prize. Four cases will have cash prize amounts of either $70, $170, $270, or $370 and one case will say CAR. In the order the winners were drawn, one at a time, they will select a case number which will be opened to reveal their prize.

The winner of the vehicle will be given information to set up an appointment with Williams Toyota to complete and finalize any necessary paperwork associated with winning the car giveaway.

Should the grand prize drawing be delayed due to track closure as a result of inclement weather, it will be moved to the next possible race day on the schedule and an announcement will be posted on the Vernon Downs social media pages and website.
