CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Jan. 14, 2011) - Shell Canada announced today the winner of the nation-wide Shell Win Fuel Contest. Norma Lepke of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia won $10,000 of Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines simply by using her BMO® MasterCard®* at her local Shell station.
"It's so exciting to know that I've won enough Shell gasoline to last me and my family a long time," said Lepke. "In fact, my husband and I now plan to drive across Canada in our motor home thanks to Shell."
In addition to the grand prize winner, 10 randomly selected entrants received prizes of 'Shell fuel for a year' with an approximate retail value of $2,500 each.
The Shell Win Fuel Contest was designed to educate customers of the benefits of using their BMO® MasterCard®* at Shell for their purchases, especially when filling up with Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines. Benefits Canadians can get by using their BMO® MasterCard®* at Shell include enhanced rewards such as CashBack or bonus AIR MILES® reward miles.
The Shell Win Fuel Contest offered the chance for Canadians to win daily prizes of $100 of Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines by finding hidden entry ballots in the Shell Virtual Station at www.shell.ca/winfuel. The on-line contest received country-wide participation from over 20,000 visitors who submitted entry ballots for the daily contest and in return received useful fuel tips inside the Shell Virtual Station. The full list of winners can be viewed on the winners' page of the Shell Win Fuel contest site.
During the contest period Shell customers were given the opportunity to meet one of Shell's Passionate Experts, known through national advertisements, at select Shell stations across Canada. Hundreds of customers came out to the events, met the Shell Passionate Expert and learned of the benefits of using Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines, which contain a unique, patented formula exclusive to Shell, designed to help clean and protect critical engine parts by seeking and destroying performance robbing engine gunk that can be left by lower quality gasolines. Customers at the events who made a minimum $20 fuel purchase were awarded instant prizes of up to $50 of Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines.
