As impossible as it may seem, some car dealerships manage to structure contests and advertising strategies in which, through simple dynamics, users can win a new car completely free. Although sometimes it sounds out of this world, there are times of the year, such as Christmas, when automotive companies launch these types of offers and raffles.
This was the case of the dynamics of a shopping center in conjunction with a car dealership, whose objective was to give away an impressive five-door van to the person who could last as long as possible with their hand glued to the car. A man did it and, after more than 70 hours, he broke the record and managed to take home a latest model truck.
Style of Malcolm in the middle, users could not help but remember the chapter in which Lois does the same feat as this boy to take the truck home. According to information shared by local media, this contest has been held at the Fashion Drive shopping center in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León, Mexico, since 2017.
The Pégate a la Tigoo 7 PRO dynamic took place on December 9, where multiple participants dared to face the challenge of standing for hours in order to win the truck. Of all the competitors, the winner was a man identified as Gerardo Medellín Lopezcedeño, who broke the 2019 record by standing still for 79 hours and 57 minutes without taking his hand off the truck.
The contest that went viral on social media began with 27 men and women stationed around the van with a 1.5L Turbo engine and nine-speed CVT transmission, people who were previously given a participant number who carried both on a shirt like in a hand figure where they should rest theirs.
The people who participated in the contest were prohibited from sitting, sleeping or eating food and even going to the bathroom outside the time established by the event organizers. For these reasons, not all people endured the circumstances and little by little they left the competition.
In the end, the winner was left participating against a woman who gave him a battle until she began to have complications with her health, a reason that led her to be left out of the competition and, automatically, gave the win to Gerardo, who, after applause and ovations from the public, he was rewarded with a luxury van.
The winner of the latest model truck not only received the admiration and applause of those present at the shopping center where the contest was held, but has also had the recognition and admiration of millions of users on social networks, who respected his perseverance and strength to endure so many hours on his feet and without sleep to get that great prize.
