Entries Close Thursday, November 19: Every Date in the Reel Chance LTB 25 Giveaway, in Order

From the August 20 opening to the November 25 drawing, here is each date in Reel Chance's 2025 LTB 25 center console giveaway and what it means for you.

Some giveaways leave you guessing about the calendar. This one does not. The Official Rules for Reel Chance's LTB 25 giveaway name every date that matters, from the first minute to the last mailing deadline. Here they are in order, with what each one means for you.

Thursday, August 20, 2026The giveaway opens

Doors opened one second after midnight Eastern Time on August 20, 2026, at 12:00:01 a.m. to be exact. Entries have been open since that moment and stay open until the close below.

Thursday, November 19, 2026Entries close just before midnight Eastern

This is the date to circle. The entry period ends at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 19, 2026, and the Sponsor's database computer is the official clock. The date itself still counts, so entering on November 19 is entering in time.

Also Thursday, November 19The mail-in postmark deadline

Members are entered automatically, and anyone can also enter by mail at no cost. A mail-in entry must be postmarked by November 19, 2026. The postmark is a separate requirement from the arrival date below, so a mail-in entry must meet both dates.

Tuesday, November 24, 2026Mail-in entries must arrive

A mailed entry also has to be received by Tuesday, November 24, 2026. That gives the mail five days after the close. Do not lean on those days. The Official Rules say the Released Parties are not responsible for late, delayed or undelivered entries.

Wednesday, November 25, 2026The drawing

A potential winner is picked at random by the Administrator, American Sweepstakes & Promotion Co., Inc. The date is on or about November 25, 2026, the day before Thanksgiving. The Official Rules give no separate winner announcement date, so we will not name one.

The mail-in checklist, step by step

If you plan to enter by mail, the Official Rules ask for the following:

Hand-print your full name, complete mailing address, phone number, date of birth and email address on a 3" x 5" card or a sheet of paper.
Seal it in a #10 business-size envelope with proper postage.
Address it to ReelChance Sweepstakes, PO Box 398, Macedon, NY 14502-0398.
Mail each envelope on its own. Bulk shipments are not accepted.
Make sure the postmark reads November 19, 2026 or earlier, and that it lands by November 24.

The card and envelope must be hand-printed by you. The rules do not allow a third-party organization to help with the entry process.

After the drawing: what the rules say happens

The potential winner is contacted by the Sponsor or the Administrator by phone, email and/or USPS mail. The person must return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability & Publicity Release (US resident) or a Declaration of Compliance (Canadian resident) within three days of the notice. If the potential winner cannot be reached or does not follow instructions within two business days of the first attempt, the Sponsor may select an alternate.

Anyone can ask for the winner's first name, last initial, city and state. Send a self-addressed, stamped business-size envelope by December 12, 2026, to the address in the Official Rules.

What the calendar is for

One Grand Prize is on offer. The winner picks between the boat and a $100,000 cash award, and the top approximate retail value is $200,000. The giveaway page calls the boat turn-key and tournament-rigged, and lists Seakeeper Ride, a Mercury V8 Verado at 300 HP and a 180-gallon fuel tank.

The fine print, in plain EnglishHow entering works

Members are entered automatically. An active Reel Chance membership includes automatic entry into every Reel Chance giveaway, alongside the other member benefits.

Anyone can enter for free. Mail a hand-printed 3" x 5" card as described in the Official Rules. Each mail-in entry counts as 10 entries. Mail-in entries must be postmarked by November 19, 2026 and received by November 24, 2026.

Paying never improves your odds. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning, and odds depend on the number of eligible entries received.
