This high-energy, community-driven event offers participants the chance to win up to $50,000 in cash while enjoying a packed week of live entertainment, contests, and local experiences—all while supporting Lake-area businesses and charities.
The concept is simple: shop local, win big.
Every dollar spent at Lake-area businesses during the week could help participants cash in.

Begin savings receipts on money spent at the Lake of the Ozarks to make yourself eligible for additional poker hands.
Registration is $250 and includes one poker hand, entry into the prize drawings, and a raffle ticket. From August 16 to 23, registered participants collect receipts from any Lake-area business—gas stations, restaurants, retail stores, hotels, marinas, and more. For every $500 spent, another poker hand is earned (up to 20 total). Sponsor business purchases count double.
Poker drawings take place on August 22 and 23, with one $25,000 prize awarded each night. The two winners will be celebrated together Saturday night with a combined $50,000 grand prize presentation. There’s also a bonus raffle, with prizes donated by event sponsors.
Party with a Purpose! Beyond the chance to win, the Cannonball Run is a full-on summer bash, with live music, a car show, a scavenger hunt, speedway thrills, fireworks, and family-friendly fun. All proceeds after prize payouts will be donated to local charities.
