Three Drawings for TPWD Lifetime Licenses
Enter for your chance to win a $1,800 Lifetime Super Combo license through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Lifetime License Drawing for $5. Entries for the drawing may be added to your yearly license purchase at retailers, by phone at 1-800-895-4248, and online at www.tpwd.texas.gov/licensedraw . There is no limit on the number of entries that may be purchased.
This year, you’ll have three chances to win and entries are now being accepted. Winners will be drawn Oct. 3, Nov. 1, and Dec. 1. Entries not drawn will be automatically entered in the next drawing. The earlier you enter, the more chances you’ll have to win.
Tim Brockway, a retired firefighter from Kaufman and an avid angler, used to buy a Super Combo hunting and fishing license every year. After being selected in the lifetime license drawing in 2010 he can now hunt and fish in Texas without buying another state license. He recalls telling the guys up at the fire station, “Hey, I bought a five dollar chance to win a lifetime license and I get a call a few months later – and I would have bet anything one of the guys got their wives to call and mess with me – and I actually didn’t believe them. I got off the phone and I called our local game warden that I know real well.” “He said: ‘Give me the phone number they called you from and the person’s name and I’ll check on it.’ Whenever I gave him the phone number and name, he said: ‘Congratulations; I know the person and I know the number.'”
Proceeds from entries go toward TPWD conservation efforts that will help keep hunting and fishing great in Texas.—courtesy TPWD
