PRIZES
NEW GRAND PRIZE!
Five (5) Grand Prize winners will each receive a Pantech Discover, courtesy of AT&T (ARV: $399 each). The Pantech Discover is the only device currently available that comes preloaded with AT&T’s DriveMode technology. AT&T DriveMode, which supports the AT&T It Can Wait texting and driving campaign, is an app that automatically sends a reply to incoming messages when a vehicle starts moving 25 mph. 911 remains accessible at any time and music and navigation are also able to be used. Texting drivers are 23 times more likely to be in an accident. AT&T DriveMode helps to remove that temptation. Thank you, AT&T!
