MERCEDES G WAGON LIVE DRAW

Welcome to the live draw of the Mercedes G63 AMG, broadcasting from Miami where the team is currently working on the Bugatti Chiron. The hosts confirm they are live on Highspeed Competition's Facebook page and the MK2 channel, and that comments are coming in. Today's draw will determine the winner of the Mercedes G63, which also comes with £5,000 cash. Additionally, there are second and third-place prizes of £1,000 cash each. Every person who entered the competition is included in each of these draws. The hosts explain their method for selecting winners: a Google random number generator. This method is chosen for its fairness and accessibility, as anyone can replicate it at home by simply searching "random number generator" on Google. The hosts set the minimum number to zero and the maximum number to 85,000, which represents the range of ticket numbers. Each time the "generate" button is clicked, a random number within this range is produced, which corresponds to a ticket number. They acknowledge some of the comments coming in, including one from "Mike 90053" who said, "Nah, not for me." The host jokingly responds that if £9.95 could win a Mercedes G-Wagon, he certainly wouldn't say no. They also mention that the Ford GT project is still ongoing, and a video of the Ferrari 296, which has been a long build, is expected soon. Updates on the Bugatti Chiron will follow the live draw. Addressing international participants, they note that South African entrants were unfortunately unable to participate in this specific draw, but express hope that the next car giveaway will be open to everyone worldwide. Before drawing the main prize, they proceed with the two £1,000 cash prizes. They clarify that ticket numbers are different from order numbers, and participants should refer to their ticket number. However, if a winner doesn't have their ticket number handy, their name will appear on the screen, and they will receive a call. The range of ticket numbers goes from number one, held by Martian Bell Witch, to 85,000, held by Richard Billan. They explain that despite the large range, not all 85,000 tickets were sold, meaning there are gaps in the sequence of sold ticket numbers. If a drawn number corresponds to an unsold ticket, they will simply draw again until a valid winner is found. For the first £1,000 cash prize, the random number generated is 82,058. This ticket belongs to Oscars Dawkins, who is announced as the first cash prize winner. Moving on to the second £1,000 cash prize, the first number generated is 1,061. However, upon checking the spreadsheet, it's confirmed that ticket number 1,061 was not sold, as there's a ticket for 1,060 and no 1,061. They generate again, and the next number is 2,297. This also turns out to be an unsold ticket, as the sheet shows 2,295 and 2,298, but no 2,297. They try a third time, generating 15,163. This number corresponds to Duraccock, who is announced as the second £1,000 cash prize winner. With the cash prizes awarded, it's time for the main event: the Mercedes G63 with £5,000 cash. The host reflects on the journey with this particular G63, mentioning significant repairs, including an engine replacement and differential issues, but notes it's now running perfectly and has been driven for months. He expresses that while he and Hannah (who wanted to keep it) enjoyed it, the car doesn't quite fit their current fleet. A key point is that the car is not registered as damaged, making it easier to insure. They also acknowledge that winners often sell the cars, which is perfectly acceptable as it's theirs to do with as they please. Many past winners have kept their cars for years, such as the Nissan GTR and Porsche Cayman S winners, highlighting the life-changing impact of these giveaways. The random number generator is reset for the G63 draw, with the maximum set to 85,000. The first number generated is 7,875. After checking the spreadsheet, it's determined that 7,875 is not a sold ticket, as the numbers jump from 7,874 to 7,876. They generate again. The next number is 40,268. The host triumphantly announces that ticket number 40,268 belongs to Paul Bookmaster, who has won the Mercedes G63 and £5,000 cash. Ryan Thomas and Connor are mentioned as being one number off, showing how close the competition was. The team then attempts to call Paul Bookmaster live on air to share the good news. However, the call goes straight to voicemail. They try multiple times, even leaving a message and trying with "no caller ID" and then "caller ID" enabled, but Paul doesn't answer. The host speculates he might be at work or asleep. Despite not being able to reach him live, they congratulate Paul and assure viewers that they will eventually connect with him and document the handover on their second channel. They express excitement for Paul's reaction, as he is currently unaware of his win. The host reveals that Paul won with only two tickets, emphasizing that even a small entry can change someone's life. He thanks everyone for entering the competition and reminds them that a new video on the Bugatti Chiron will be live on the main channel in about 45 minutes. The broadcast concludes with the team needing to get back to work on the cars and find a daily driver in Miami.
