A Team Dover member has a chance to win $10,000 during a final grand prize drawing by playing a free game called Air Mobility Command MatchUp which ends Aug. 31.

Players can receive tickets by using any 436th Force Support Squadron facility.

To play, players scratch off a ticket and enter the number at the AMC MatchUp website, http://www.amcmatchup.com/home.aspx, or call the ticket redemption hotline, 1-888-597-9960. Players can receive instant winner coupons that can redeemed at Outdoor Recreation, Arts and crafts Center and AMC Services Facilities.

"MatchUp is fun, and it's great to play. I've already won a free lunch and a free round of golf since playing it several times a week," said Steve Hoffstadt, 436th Operations Support Squadron airlift mission planner.

To qualify for squadron- level prizes, Team Dover squadrons must have 100 percent participation with members enrolling in the game with two tickets. Spouses, dependents, guests and retirees will not be added to the qualifying count.

The first place prize is $3,000 in FSS BUCKS which will be split among qualifying squadrons and a bonus drawing will award an extra $250 FSS BUCKS to one of those squadrons. Some Airmen play to win a cash prize while others play for a different cause.

"I play to support Dover Air Force Base during the MatchUp Base Race," said Maj. Thomas Abell, 436th FSS operations officer.

The AMC MatchUp Base Race is another facet of the game, where the total numbers of members enrolled in the game are added up each week, the winner being the base with the largest number of members enrolled at the end of the game. Team Dover has won the Base Race two of the last three years.
