On top of the $5,000,000 freeroll with a $1 million first-place prize. The 100 free seats to the $10,400 WPT World Championship and more than $700,000 in Mystery Bounties. On top of the Gold Cash Booth, the Wynn Field Club NFL experience, and endless amounts of merch.
On top of all the prizes that will be given away by ClubWPT Gold, WPT’s newest sweepstakes poker product, they have purchased and will give away a brand new 2025 McLaren GTS.
It’s a British high-performance luxury vehicle that is not only valued at more than $240,000 but is also considered a beacon of automotive engineering and technology. A car that’s as smooth on the streets as it is on the racetrack. And the best part is, you don’t have to be invited to the ClubWPT Gold $5M Invitational Freeroll to win it. You simply have to show up to the Wynn and try your luck.
For the car aficionado, the McLaren boasts a twin-turbo V-8 engine with 626 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. A rear-wheel drive seven-speed automatic transmission that optimizes acceleration from a dead stop.
For the rest of us, this translates to: this car is fast. Real fast. Zero-to-sixty in 3.1 seconds fast with a top speed of over 200mph. It could be a mile down the road before you’ve made your decision on the river.
And someone out there is going to win it. They’ll be smart and show up to Wynn Las Vegas early and sign up for a free account on ClubWPT Gold at the Gold Tree Booth ( you won’t be able to miss it). Or, if you have already signed up, you show up, give them your name, and have a shot. Draw an envelope – win a prize. It’s that simple and one of those prizes will be the top prize. This incredible $240,000 car. The Gold McLaren.
If you can envision that, then you have a choice to make: keep the car or take the cash. Not everyone has room for a quarter-million-dollar whip in their driveway. So ClubWPT Gold is offering a cash payout as an option – $150,000. It’s not quite the value of the car but similar to when you win the lottery and you either take some now or all of it later. The car or the cash – a tough decision for some.
Here’s why you might keep the car:
• Most people will simply not be in a position to buy a McLaren again. There is no such thing as a McLaren-athon where you get the best low, low prices of the year. This car is exclusive, so if it’s your dream to own a high-end machine, you throw your arms around it and never let go. It’s already bought and now it’s yours.
• The need for speed. Without advocating for street racing, the McLaren can put poker-playing racing fans into the driver’s seat. Book time at a local racetrack and you’re the star of your own Days of Thunder. It’s hard to get your hands on a McLaren so if racing is your thing, take the wheel.
• Attention seekers are going to get it in this car. The car is flashy, it’s expensive and people are going to look your way. Even better if you live in a small town or rural area. It would be absolutely wild to pull up to family dinner in this thing.
Take the cash? No one will blame you.
• $150,000 is a lot of money and it can go a long way to pursuing a number of dreams be it in or outside of poker. It’s enough for you to buy into every single World Poker Tour Championship and Prime event this year, including three Alpha8 $25Ks. Live the life of a pro and chase WPT POY. If you just stuck to Championship events, you could fire twice in every stop and have plenty left over for next year. Ultimately, it offers the flexibility to do what you will with it…except buy a brand-new McLaren.
• Taxes and insurance. Here’s the real deal – if you are a safe driver, let’s say 40 years old the yearly insurance to cruise the town is going to be somewhere between $6-8K a year (depending on a number of factors). The car is considered income which means a new tax bracket for you and more money for them.
• You can still have a car. In fact, $150,000 will buy a bunch of cars with plenty left over. You could even buy multiple cars if that’s your thing. Three 2025 BLW 2025 BWM 4 Series or 2025 Jaguar F-PACE. Or keep it economical and get five 2025 Volkswagen Jettas or six Honda Civics. If it’s just a car you want, the cash will get that, and more, for you.
It’s a one-of-a-kind poker prize and only one person will win it. To have your shot make your way to Wynn Las Vegas between December 8-17 and visit the ClubWPT Golden Tree booth between the hours of 10:30 am – 8 pm and, who knows, it could be you that lands the keys to the McClaren.
