Win Coco Love's $13,500 'Love Machine' Wrapped Dirt Bike

What you're looking at

Coco Love — the coconut-water brand you have seen stacked in Costco and Walmart — is giving away what its Official Rules call, flatly, "a Coco Love branded dirtbike," and what the landing page sells as a brand-new wrapped motorbike. Neither the marketing nor the rules name a make or a model anywhere. The giveaway page's own hero image does: it is served under the filename kawasaki-kx250-love-machine, which points squarely at Kawasaki's full-size 250 four-stroke motocrosser.

If that identification holds, this is real race equipment and not a lifestyle prop. The current KX250 is a 249cc liquid-cooled DOHC single with a five-speed gearbox, electric start, chain final drive and a 37.6-inch seat height — the bike Kawasaki sells to contest the 250 class, redesigned for 2025 with a new frame and revised suspension and carried into 2026 essentially unchanged. There is no soft version of this segment. A KX250 is a competition bike with race gearing, a deliberately stiff chassis and a service schedule measured in engine hours rather than miles, and it will happily hurt a rider who bought it because it looked good in an ad.

The model year is not published, and neither are the hours — which, on a bike with an hour meter and no odometer, is the only mileage figure that exists. The page says brand-new. Take that as the operating assumption rather than a guarantee.

Why it matters

The genuinely interesting thing about this giveaway is the entry math, and it runs in the entrant's favour in a way that is rare enough to call out. Online purchases at cocolovewater.com earn one entry per dollar spent, and the smallest order on the store is a 12-pack at $35.88. Uploading a receipt from a retail purchase earns two entries per dollar — so the grocery aisle is the cheaper paid route per entry. And the free mail-in is worth thirty-six entries per envelope, which is almost exactly what that $35.88 online order buys you.

That is the ratio worth understanding: a hand-printed sheet of paper in a stamped envelope is worth the same as a full case of coconut water. The rules also state there is no limit on the number of entries an entrant may receive, and each Mail-In must be mailed separately — meaning the free route scales with envelopes and stamps. Odds depend on total eligible entries received, which no operator can tell you in advance.

The promotion is administered by US Sweepstakes & Fulfillment Co. of Boulder, Colorado, a named third-party administrator rather than the brand judging its own drawing, and the sponsor is identified in the rules as Monarch Media LLC d/b/a Coco Love of Las Vegas, Nevada. Both facts are printed, and both are the sort of thing worth checking on any giveaway before you spend a dollar.

The fine print worth knowing

Start with the prize clause, because it qualifies the headline. The rules state the Grand Prize "is not redeemable for cash, assignable, transferable and may not be substituted except at Sponsor's sole discretion," and that "Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value at its discretion." Two consequences in plain terms: there is no take-the-money option on a $13,500 prize, and the specific wrapped bike in the photograph — which is the entire pitch — is not contractually locked in. Substitution language of this kind is boilerplate on nearly every sweepstakes in the country; it is worth a line here only because the custom livery is the whole reason anyone is looking.

Next, the tax. The rules are explicit: "Winner is responsible for all federal, state, local and income taxes associated with winning prize," and the winner must return "an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Waiver, an IRS W-9 Form and where allowable, a Publicity Release" within five days of notification. That W-9 is the point — a $13,500 ARV is reported as income, and because there is no cash alternative, the bill arrives without any prize money to pay it. A winner in Texas, Nevada or Florida faces the federal side only; one in California, Arizona or Hawaii adds state income tax on top. Five days is also a short clock, so a winner who is travelling when the call comes needs to be reachable.

Then a wrinkle specific to this prize: the rules say "Winner will be responsible for obtaining a valid state driver's license and insurance, if applicable in Winner's state of residence." Read that alongside what the bike appears to be. A full-size motocross machine is built for closed-course competition — no lights, no mirrors, no VIN-based street registration in most states — so the practical cost of ownership is not a licence plate but a truck or van, a trailer, and somewhere legal to ride it. Budget for that before you budget for the tax.

Finally, the boundaries. Eligibility is limited to legal residents of Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada and Texas who are 18 or older — an entry from any other state is void, which is worth confirming before you buy a case of anything. The entry period runs from 12:00:01 AM PT on Monday, July 27, 2026 to 11:59:59 PM PT on Saturday, October 31, 2026, with the drawing held on or about Tuesday, November 10, 2026. Mail-in entries must be postmarked inside that same window and received by Saturday, November 7, 2026 — the ordinary buffer a mailed entry needs to physically reach the drum before the draw. The rules also provide that "all disputes will be resolved solely by binding arbitration" and that entrants waive the ability to bring claims in a class action format.
