Tice’s six-figure score had real-world benefits that don’t come with a price tag. His success came with a “feeling of relief from paying off debt and other things. It was going to take a couple of years, but this helped fast-track me to where I wanted to be,“ he explained.
The win also had unexpected social benefits. “It reconnected me with people I haven’t spoken to in years,“ Tice noted, highlighting how major life events can bring people back into your orbit. While he didn’t celebrate in any elaborate way—“I mean not really, I’m just happy I won“—the practical impact was significant.
For anyone questioning the legitimacy of these giveaways, Tice advises, “I’d tell them the proof is in the pudding. I’ve seen it, I’ve lived it. It’s definitely not fake.“ He said, “I know there are fraud giveaways out there, and they usually don’t last. The fact that he’s been giving away cars for years speaks for itself.“
His advice for potential entrants reflects the same practical mindset that led him to choose cash over chrome: “I’d tell them it’s real and go for something they’d want. Buy the item if you like it, and you can win a vehicle as a bonus.“
