    Well no, not exactly, but, many people think Drive the Prize is for Prio Customers only.

    it is NOT.
     
    There is a route in for non Prio players, & all you have to do is post a photo on the Sky Poker Facebook page.

    All the details are
    HERE

    You could win;

    A seat in the Live Final which has these prizes;


    1stAudi A3 Sport worth £25,000
    2nd£5,000
    3rd£3,000
    4th£2,000
    5th£1,500
    6th£1,250
    7th£1,000
    8th£750
    9th£500
    The Live Final should be great craic, with Mr Ambo on hand to commentate, & talk. And talk. And talk some more. You could listen to him for hours. In fact you won't have much choice.

    So you might win a new car, or somewhere between £500 & £5,000.
     
    Or you might win a Viva Las Vegas package....


    1stDrive the Prize Live Final Seat
    2ndViva Las Vegas Main Event Semi Satellite Seat worth £275
    3rdViva Las Vegas Main Event Semi Satellite Seat worth £275
    4thViva Las Vegas Side Event Semi Satellite Seat worth £95

    Fancy a £33 Main Event seat one night this week?

    Just tell us why;

    1) You would like to win as new car, or play that Live Final in Manchester next month.
     
    Or....

    2) Why you would like to win a Viva Las Vegas package.

    Either - or both - will do. The best post will win a £33 Main Event seat any night you like.

    I'd like to win a Vegas package because I'm keen to lose weight.
    I lost a stone last time I was over there courtesy of the trip to Gilleys restaurant

    I'd like to get to play in that Drive The Prize Live Final so I cam meet Mr Ambo, & ask him a few questions.

    Love that bloke, I could listen to him for hours. In fact, I get no choice.
     
    "What's the time, Neil?"

    "Funny you should ask that......."

    I'd like to win a Viva Las Vegas package in the Drive the Prize thing so I could spend some time with Neil Channing, & ask him loads of questions.

    Oh, wait.......

    I would like to win the car because mine has stressed me out totally before xmas breaking down not once but twice and having to be towed to garage. (glad I had breakdown insurance) so would like something more reliable.

    As for Vegas a real no brainer. My life long dream since I was 4 to go there. Unfortunately my dream of seeing Seigfried and Roy perform at the Mirage hotel with the white tigers is sadly a dream that wont come true, due to the accident. To go to the secret garden and then go see the little alien inn area 51. To go to the grand canyon and go on the stratosphere. To soak up the atmosphere in the WSOP and to be around fantastic people who I've got to know over the past 2 years of me being on Skypoker. Who ever wins either one I wish you run golden always.

    I would like to win a viva Las Vegas package so I can meet up and say a huge thanks to people who have helped me through my little health issue.

    I would love to win a trip to Las Vegas because I need someone to take me shopping for sartorially challenged T shirt and shorts combos.

    I would like to win a viva las vegas because its my 10 year anniversary this year and I'd love to take my better half somewhere special but due to money it isnt going to happen. She has to put up with me playing hours of poker,  terrible company when I'm playing, being grumpy when things arent going my way and it would be good way to let her get something out of my poker exploits.

    Plus i dont have facebook and im not prio so im not winning a car lol

    I would like to win a Viva Las Vegas trip to show them how to do 'THE HANGOVER' properly !

    ......now who's going to be that little monkey?


    oh yes........... and have a game of cards or two


    I went to Vegas 20 years ago when I was travelling around USA playing golf, but that was before I played Poker. I won $500 in the first 2 nights playing Blackjack and Roulette, and promptly stopped so I can always say I made money in Las Vegas. I had a great time spending the cash.
     I would now LOVE to go back and try my hand at the Mecca of Poker.

    ps
    ANGEL......'The Stratosphere'  opened the day after I flew out of Vegas 1st April 1996,  I believe it was knocked down last year......20 years is a long time in Las Vegas!

    I'd love to win a Vegas package more than the car - only so I could bring Darkangel on her lifelong dream holiday (assuming I would get away with leaving my hubby at home)

    I think I should win something here.

    I just need more time to think why .



    *reserving this space for why it should be me_me. *


    Got it .Im singing a song as my entry for something... inspiration from chilling.Thanks Chiily.

    I am just a pure boy
    But my Aces seldom hold,

    I have squandered my rebuy-ance 

    For a pocket full gutshots and any two cards 

    all bluffs and jests.

    Still a man plays what he wants to play and discards the rest.

    Oh, I give up.



    give it to hhfuhjj.

    I would love to win a Las Vegas package because my partner of 11 years turns *whispers* 30 this year and has been going on about going to America for years for her 30th but no matter how hard I tried to save couldn't make it so this would be an amazing way to treat her. 

    Good luck everyone.

    I want to win a Las Vegas package because it's a free holiday. It's also the reason I am posting on this thread because I want to win a free £33 main event seat.

    I would like to win the car so I can sell it .

    Good luck everyone.

    I think im, is it trolling? not sure. Bit old for jargon.

    Mumsie, you give advice frome time to time, which is gratefully accepted. A bit like a cheap version of Boxster.

    I think the Tramp in the Shop doorway with the urine soaked jacket deserves to win it .... so he can burn it in front of matey boy.

    100% drive the prize for me!! What would be more fun than playing 9 handed vs other sky players live at a casino!

    What a great promotion from sky. It would be a honour to play for it and promote the company in the public eye.

    Vegas would be great but that opportunity is there every year if you want it!

    I would love to win the Vegas package, trip of a life time for any poker enthusiast and one I have not managed to experience. To do so with the prospect of meeting up with other sky players and the awesomeness that is Tikay would be immense. It also happens to be mine and Mrs P's 25th wedding anniversary this summer so what a way to celebrate that would be. 

    Except for the fact that unfortunately Mrs P does not share my enthusiasm for poker or even America, so perhaps I had better go for the chance to win a car. That way I might actually get to have a 25th anniversary. 

    Anyway I vote for hhfty for Vegas as long as he takes Haysie as his +1.

    Sounds like a good enough reason for me to go! <-(only one TK)

    I wouldn't want a free VLV ticket as there are far more deserving people ITT. I was lucky enough to get there last year with Sky and had a brilliant time and it would be good for someone who has not had that experience to have the opportunity. I will however fight tooth and nail to win a package the old fashioned way as the experience was awsome (apart from losing the passports).

    I could however do with a new car. Mine is 16 years old and corners like a ship.

      Almost 7 years ago I was proud to bathe in the reflective glory of the better half's fantastic run in the main event, after she won the last seat in the 2010 Viva Las Vegas promotion; Tony & the Sky team gave the whole group an experience none of us will forget.

      As the months went by I never got tired of listening to the stories of "cracking Aces" or "foldling top two", told to anyone wanting to know or while watching the Sky Youtube videos, but as the months quickly turned into years I'm keen to take over the family bragging rights, as do a couple of our kids..............

    Good stuff, well done, but don't forget, you can win that Drive the Prize seat & maybe the car simply by going to the Sky Poker Facebook page & posting a photo. It's that simple.
