Hello! Is your name George Washington? Legally, I mean. If yes, I have both good and bad news for you. The bad news is that you’re on a list. But hey, it’s 2026; nothing surprising there, right? The good news is that being on this specific list makes you eligible to win a Jeep Wrangler. That’s pretty exciting, isn’t it?
However, there’s a catch: For you to win, the U.S. has to triumph—at soccer.
“As America’s most patriotic brand, Jeep is putting its own red, white, and blue spin on this summer's biggest global soccer tournament. Jeep has always embodied the ‘go anywhere, do anything’ spirit, so as soccer fever grips the nation, the brand is adding a touch of founding-father flair—and a whole lot of fun—to the competition,” the announcement states.
“If the U.S. team comes out on top this summer, the first 100 eligible Americans legally named George Washington who register will get the chance to drive home in a brand-new Jeep Wrangler,” it adds.
So, if you share a name with our nation's most famous founding father, and you wisely register in advance, and somehow America wins the World Cup, you’ll be the proud owner of a shiny new Wrangler.
“If America achieves victory and a bunch of George Washingtons find themselves cruising around in brand-new Jeep Wranglers, that’s the kind of wonderfully chaotic patriotism I want to be part of,” said comedian Iliza Shlesinger, who features in the company’s promotional video. “The Jeep brand has always symbolized freedom, adventure, and a hint of rebellion, so offering George Washingtons across America the chance to grab a Jeep Wrangler felt perfectly wild in the best way possible.”
It seems like a low-risk bet for Jeep. If you’re not into sports, let me give you some context: bookmakers estimate America’s chances of winning the tournament at around 60:1. In other words, Jeep is likely holding on to those Wranglers and only spending on Shlesinger’s appearance fee instead of FIFA’s costs for using “World Cup” in their advertising.
