Dresdener can't believe his luck as he wins the main prize worth 50,000 euros

02-11-2020

Elmshorn, 23rd of October 2020 — Samuel G. from Dresden drove a good 500 kilometres to pick up his prize: a brand-new VW van worth 50,000 euros. He won it during the star Adventure Weeks  from 1st of August till 30th of September. Every week during this period, you could win a prize representing something typical of the most popular European travel destinations among Germans. In addition, there were vouchers that could be used at star petrol stations. With his main prize, Samuel G. was the luckiest of all those who took part in the prize draw.

But he wasn't quite so sure what to think at first. 'How long can I drive it for?' and 'When will I have to give it back?' were Samuel G.'s first questions on the phone when ORLEN Deutschland told him he had won. 'He can, of course, keep the van forever. Samuel G. really couldn't believe his luck and couldn't even imagine driving such a vehicle,' Jonas Pipke from the marketing department at ORLEN Deutschland says about his phone call with the lucky winner.

The prize is really quite impressive: the stylish multivan was even given a special paint job in silver, red, and black and comes with ParkPilot and heated seats as special features. The 81-KW diesel van meets the Euro 6 emissions requirements.

Nearly 20,000 star customers took part in the star Adventure Weeks. There was not even much need to be brave or desperate to go away. All you needed was to be a bit adventurous. All those customers whose receipt showed total spendings at participating star or ORLEN petrol stations of at least 25.00 euros were able to upload it on the competition website www.star.de/abenteuer​ and were automatically registered to take part in the competition.

There were lots of fantastic prizes up for grabs during the star Adventure Weeks, among them, scooters and cargo bicycles — but only one main prize. And today, on Friday, 23rd of October, we officially presented it to him at 10 a.m. at the star petrol station in Elmshorn (Hamburger Str. 141).
