Free gas Chicago: Businessman Willie Wilson expanding giveaway to suburban Cook County, donating $1M Thursday

CHICAGO (WLS) — Millionaire businessman and ex-mayoral candidate Willie Wilson plans to donate $1 million in free gas next week, after his free gas giveaway Thursday snarled traffic across the city but provided $200,000 worth of fill-ups.

Wilson said Friday he plans to donate $1 million in free gas next Thursday, March 24, at 50 participating locations in Chicago and suburban Cook County.

Starting at 7 a.m., each vehicle at those gas stations will get $50 in gas until $1 million is exhausted, as residents struggle with high gas prices.

The stations will also lower their prices next week, so more people can partake, Wilson said.

On Thursday, as Wilson hosted his first gas giveaway, lines stretched for blocks all across the city. By 7 a.m. at the Amoco located at 7201 N. Clark St. in Rogers Park, the line, which had started at 2 a.m., went all the way down Touhy Avenue to Sheridan Road.
