Get jabbed, win a car

Turners is supporting New Zealand’s vaccination drive by offering $40,000 worth of prizes – but you need a coronavirus jab to enter.

There are two prizes to be won. Each one is a car up to the value of $15,000 plus a $5,000 accessories package from Hyper Drive.

Turners has partnered with TV3 promotion The Wheel Of Immunity, which will give prizes to people for getting vaccinated. It screens at 7pm on The Project.  

“Partnering with The Project was a no-brainer,” says Todd Hunter, group chief executive officer of Turners Automotive Group. “We also reached out to our mates at Hyper Drive who have provided $5,000 worth of accessories on each car.”

“These massive prizes will supercharge The Wheel Of Immunity,” says Greg Hedgepeth, chief executive of Turners’ auto retail division. 

“And look out for Tina tonight [September 27]. She will be helping encourage people to enter and win on The Project at 7pm.”

Hunter adds what the business is doing is also a challenge to other Kiwi companies.

“We’ll be running a staff incentive internally as well as giving away the cars because the quicker we get these vaccination rates up, the better,” he says. 

“Hyper Drive didn’t hesitate to jump on with us and we encourage other companies to think creatively on how we boost vaccination rates in New Zealand.”
