Fed up with watching your gas tank consume cash? The Florida Lottery has tapped into your fuel fetish with its new game, “Gas for Life.”
Over eight weeks of weekly drawings, the Lottery will hand out five ”Gas for Life” prizes of $52,000 in cash and 50 ”Gas for a Year” gas cards — $100 each to arrive at the winner’s home every two weeks for 26 weeks. They are just some of the 448 prizes pegged to the ”Summer Cash” drawing, which will run weekly from June 30 through Aug. 26.
Participants will pay $5 per ticket to compete for any of the gas prizes or the one $250,000 grand prize. Another 100,000 winners will receive $25 instant cash coupons in addition to their drawing entry.
