Supercross Fan Wins $1 Million Prize in Consumer Sweepstakes at Monster Energy Cup

27-Year-Old Jesse Hebert from Maryland Claims Monster Millions Prize
After Historic Eli Tomac Supercross Win
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#monstercup–Monster Energy congratulates Supercross fan Jesse Hebert from
Beltsville, Maryland on winning the $1 million grand prize in the
consumer sweepstakes at the Monster Energy Cup event on October 13. The
27-year-old Monster Energy fan and former amateur motocross rider scored
the largest consumer sweepstakes payout in energy drink history in the
Monster Millions promotion that was open to fans across the United
States.
From May 1 until August 31, consumers were invited to participate in the
Monster Millions sweepstakes via local retailers nationwide for a chance
to win Supercross-themed prizes. One hundred first-prize winners
received a special edition Eli Tomac jersey and helmet, while ten
lucky winners including Jesse Hebert were flown to Las Vegas for a VIP
Monster Energy Cup experience. During Saturday night’s event, the ten
winners had a chance to enter a floating money machine with $1000 in
cash and grab as much money as they could.
When all bills were counted, it was Hebert who emerged from the floating
money machine holding the most bank notes – a cold $406 in cash.
The next step was up to destiny: The winner who could collect the
biggest bundle of cash was eligible to win the $1,000,000 under the
condition that one and the same rider won all three of the ten-lap races
held during the Monster Energy Cup. This is exactly what Monster Energy
Supercross team rider Tomac achieved on his Kawasaki at Sam Boyd Stadium
in Vegas, triggering a double million-dollar payout. Not only did Tomac
receive his Monster Millions stash on the podium that night, but he also
unlocked the one million dollar cash prize for Hebert.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to win the Monster Millions grand prize.
I’m a huge fan of Monster, and Supercross has been a major passion of
mine. I’m truly thankful to Monster Energy for this life-changing
experience,” said Hebert upon winning the $1 million sweepstakes in Las
Vegas last weekend.
As the next step, Monster Energy is excited to work with Hebert to
publicize the Supercross enthusiast’s historic win in the Monster Energy
sweepstakes. The Monster Energy team is currently scheduling a hometown
celebration at Hebert’s favorite Monster Energy retailer, as well as a
trip to Corona, California to visit the Monster Energy HQ and Kawasaki
supercross training center.
The one million dollar payout is not the only history-making feat at
this year’s Monster Energy Cup. Tomac also set a new record as the first
two-time Monster Energy Cup Champion in the eight-year history of the
all-star Supercross event and celebrated his victory joined by Hebert on
the podium in Vegas.
“I was just full on, that’s all there was to it,” said Tomac on the
podium. “It was just wide open; I was making the passes, and then it was
just all the way ‘til the end. This is just insane. Unbelievable.”
Tomac’s million-dollar victory marks the third time a racer took the top
spot – and massive cash prize – in Monster Energy Cup history. Ryan
Villopoto took home the million dollars at the first-ever Monster Energy
Cup in 2011, and Marvin Musquin achieved the impressive feat in 2017.
Both former Monster Energy Cup champions competed in Saturday’s event
and congratulated Tomac on his win.
Standing next to his favorite Supercross racer, the Monster Millions
sweepstakes winner Hebert hoisted his $1 million check overhead in front
of the crowd at Sam Boyd stadium. If anyone says that nobody ever wins
money in consumer sweepstakes, they are definitely one million percent
wrong.
