Here's some text that goes with GM's announcement;
"Auto accidents have never been so exciting," said GM vice-president of marketing Roger Jenkins, who expects the contest to boost 2001 sales significantly. "When you play the new GM Instant Win Airbag Game, your next collision could mean a trip for two to the next Super Bowl. Or a year's worth of free Mobil gasoline. "
"It's really addictive," said Sacramento, CA, resident Marjorie Kamp, speaking from her hospital bed, where she is listed in critical condition with severe brain hemorrhaging and a punctured right lung. "I've already crashed four cars trying to win those Super Bowl tickets, but I still haven't won. I swear, I'm going to win those tickets--even if it kills me!"
Kamp said that as soon as she is well enough, she plans to buy a new Pontiac Bonneville and drive it into a tree.
"As soon as my car started to skid out of control, I thought to myself, 'Oh, boy, this could be it--I could be a big winner!'" said Cincinnati's Martin Frelks, who lost his legs but won $50 Sunday when the Buick LeSabre he was driving hit an oil slick at 60 mph and slammed into an oncoming truck. "When the car stopped rolling down the embankment, I knew I was hurt, but all I could think about was getting the blood and glass out of my eyes so I could read that airbag!"
