Chicago businessman and former mayoral candidate Willie Wilson said there may be a third gas giveaway in the future for the Chicago area following massive lines and increased demand during his latest donation.
In partnership with approximately 50 gas stations around the Chicago area, Wilson offered $50 worth of free gas for each driver until his $1 million was spent. Many participating stations also lowered their prices during the event.
"I believe that the people that need the $50 a piece of gasoline," Wilson said."I’m enjoying this more than them enjoying it because the struggle — the lord has blessed me to be able to do it. So, that’s about what I got to say now, and we’re gonna try to go back home tonight and figure out: how can we do more? Because we haven’t done enough yet. We gotta do more. We have to do more.
