Win a $150,000 Right Toyota Shopping Spree + $50,000 Cash

What you're actually winning

There is no single car in this one, and that is the whole idea. A Race Against Blindness is awarding a $150,000 budget to spend at Right Toyota in Scottsdale, Arizona, plus $50,000 in cash — a stated Approximate Retail Value of $200,000. The winner walks in and decides what the money becomes.

That is a more interesting problem than it first sounds. A 2026 Tundra TRD Pro opens at $72,565, which leaves roughly half the budget for the kind of work Right Toyota's in-house Custom Garage does — suspension, wheels and tires, lighting, bumpers, racks. Or you go two-car: a Land Cruiser from $57,200 alongside a Sequoia Capstone at $85,235 puts you within a rounding error of the ceiling. A 4Runner Trailhunter Hybrid runs $67,700 plus $1,500 destination and leaves change for a second daily driver. Factory orders are allowed, so allocation-limited trims that are hard to find on a lot are genuinely in play.

Why it matters

Most car sweepstakes hand you a build somebody else specced, and enthusiasts spend the whole entry period quietly rearranging it in their heads — wrong wheels, wrong gearing, wrong color. This one inverts that. It is closer to a blank order sheet than a prize car, and for anyone who has ever wanted a TRD Pro configured their way rather than the way it left the auction, that is the appeal.

The operator behind it is not anonymous. A Race Against Blindness is a 501(c)(3) founded in 2023 by the parents of a ten-year-old with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome, funding research into the retinal degeneration it causes. The drawing is run by a named outside administrator, American Sweepstakes & Promotion Co., Inc., and the charity publishes a long, dated, state-tagged list of past vehicle winners going back to 2023 — Land Cruisers, Raptors, a Shelby GT500, several overland builds.

One thing worth noticing: several of those past prizes were advertised as a vehicle or a cash alternative. This one is not. There is no cash option on the $150,000.

The fine print worth knowing

The most important term is the one the format itself creates: this is a dealership credit, not a car and not money. The rules describe it as a budget "to spend with Right Toyota," and it cannot be taken as cash. The winner travels to Arizona to make selections, and the clock is short — "All vehicle selections, options, and factory orders must be finalized and submitted to Right Toyota within the same fourteen (14)-day period," after which "Any portion of the Prize budget not committed to the purchase of vehicle(s) or approved accessories within that period may, at the Sponsor's sole discretion, be forfeited." Spend $130,000 and dawdle on the last $20,000 and you may simply not get it. Restricting a donated dealer allowance to one store and one window is ordinary for a partnership prize like this, but it does mean the $150,000 only fully materializes if the winner commits all of it.

On top of the budget, the winner pays "all optional equipment, title, license, insurance and registration fees," plus travel and transportation. The tax bill is calculated on the full $200,000 and a 1099 is filed, which is a large part of what the $50,000 cash is really doing.

Eligibility is broader than most — the USA and Canada — but Washington State residents are excluded, and a Canadian winner must correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question. There is also a carve-out that matters given how often this charity runs promotions: "Any past winner of a Sweepstakes held by the Sponsor is also NOT eligible to participate/win." A selected winner has seven days to respond, and the sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value.

Entries start at $25 for 10, scaling to $1,000 for 1,000, with periodic bonus multipliers that lift those counts. The free route is real and generously weighted: a hand-printed 3x5 card mailed in is worth fifty entries on its own — five times the base $25 tier — and 100 to 300 during a bonus period. Cards must be postmarked by October 17, 2026 and received by October 22, one day before the drawing, which is simply the time physical mail needs to reach the drum. The exact address and card requirements are in the free-entry section of the official rules.
