DALLAS – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service and Lindt Chocolates are teaming up to treat one lucky shopper to a sweet ride—a brand-new Volkswagen Jetta.

Military shoppers can enter the Lindt Chocolates Sweepstakes at Army and Air Force Exchanges worldwide from March 7 to April 17 for the chance to drive off with a Volkswagen Jetta, valued at $15,000, or the winner can choose to take home $15,000 in cash instead. 

“With this sweepstakes, the Exchange is putting a lucky winner in the driver’s seat,” said Col. Tom Ockenfels, the Exchange chief of staff. “What’s more, the winner will enjoy the peace of mind that comes with owning a brand-new car.”

Authorized shoppers 18 years and older with a valid driver’s license can enter the sweepstakes, and no purchase is necessary. The drawing will take place on or about May 15.
