Russian man wins a brand-new car after spending just 2,000 rubles

A 37-year-old man from Krasnoyarsk has won a brand-new car in a Sberbank promotion. Pavel Zhukov secured the prize after spending just 2,000 rubles using his bank card. The victory came as part of the bank’s Universe of Benefits competition, announced on December 20, 2024.

Zhukov entered the competition hoping to earn 100,000 Spasibo bonus points for his daughter’s New Year gift. Instead, he won a GAC car—the first time he had ever claimed a prize in any promotion. The news arrived unexpectedly through a push notification from the bank.

He plans to keep the vehicle, marking it as his first brand-new car straight from the dealership. Despite the win, Zhukov has already joined another Sberbank giveaway. This time, he is aiming for a trip to Kamchatka.

The competition required only a small transaction to enter, yet Zhukov walked away with a car. His participation in future promotions shows no sign of slowing down. The bank’s Universe of Benefits programme continues to offer customers unexpected rewards.
