One deserving military shopper will hit the road – and the jackpot – in a customized Ford Bronco Badlands, valued at $106,000, in the Army & Air Force Exchange’s Monster Energy sweepstakes.

And if the four-door, four-wheel-drive SUV weren’t enough, the grand-prize winner will also receive an $8,500 American Express gift card. Additionally, 50 other winners will receive a Monster Energy camo backpack, valued at $85 each.

Through Oct. 31, authorized Wright Patterson shoppers 18 and older can enter the worldwide sweepstakes at ShopMyExchange.com/sweepstakes.

“Who’s more deserving of an awesome grand prize like this than a member of the military community?” said Wright-Patterson BX General Manager Adam Shaw. “With sweepstakes like this, the Exchange says, ‘thank you’ to our military and their families for their selfless service.”

No purchase is necessary to enter or win. Honorably discharged veterans who have confirmed their eligibility to shop online can enter, too. Veterans can visit ShopMyExchange.com/vets to learn more. Department of Defense and Coast Guard civilians and retirees can also enter.
