JACKSON, Mich.–Drivers and passers-by here this morning will see a dozen people all competing to win $20,000 to go toward having an auto loan or lease paid off, in a contest being sponsored by Michigan Community Credit Union here.
The 12 contestants will be found in front of local Extreme Dodge on Seymour Road here in the “Contact with the Car” contest, which requires that contestants stand, surround and touch a car until the last person standing wins the grand prize. Participants will be granted a ten minute break every four hours. Family and friends of the contestants are being encouraged attend and cheer the participants on.
Contestants entered by purchasing a vehicle at one of the featured dealers that was financed through Michigan Community Credit Union, or leased, during the qualification period of Aug. 1 through Aug. 22, 2015. After the qualification period, the 12 contestants were randomly drawn to participate in the event.
