Cars are among the things GTA Online players like to collect the most. Rockstar Games has added so many vehicles over the last decade in this title that its catalog has become nearly endless. As one would expect, the best rides often cost a lot of money. That said, players also get a chance to claim one for free every week as the Diamond Casino Podium Vehicle, for which they must spin The Lucky Wheel.
It should be noted that this is based on pure luck and the odds of winning are quite low. Redditor u/Lurkofeer recently shared on the r/gtaonline subreddit that they haven't ever won a Podium Vehicle despite playing the game for years. Here's what they said:
"Been playing for years and still haven't won the podium car. Who else is with me?"
As such, you can only spin The Lucky Wheel once every 24 hours. However, shutting down the game before the wheel stops on a reward can let you go back and spin it again. This is what u/Old_Seesaw_4701 commented on the above post, adding that one could win every car through this method:
"Just leave the game before the spins done then you can spin again till you hit it. Literally can get every car if you want"
There were some interesting responses to this comment, including one from u/SouthKlutzy866 that explained how this trick basically works.
Based on the comments, it seems that a section of players already knew about this trick. Some even revealed how many cars they had won from the podium so far. But many players haven't been so lucky. One such player, u/blargishtarbin, shared how they've also never won a Podium Vehicle in the game:
"NEVER ONCE, BROTHER, I STAND WITH THEE, OP o7"
For those unaware, the Podium Vehicle changes every Thursday with the release of a GTA Online weekly update. The car to be placed at the podium is decided by Rockstar Games.
GTA Online players discuss tricks to win the Diamond Casino Podium Vehicle
Winning the GTA Online Podium Vehicle the usual way doesn't involve any skill and is basically a game of chance. However, using tricks like quitting before landing on an outcome can give you extra opportunities.
Interestingly, some particular ways of spinning The Lucky Wheel can increase your chances of winning the Podium Vehicle. YouTuber BullSheepParty has mastered one of these tricks and uploads a video of them winning the free car every week. They also provide tutorials for the same in those videos, like the one embedded above, so those interested can give it a try.
Learning it can be of great help, especially to beginners who generally don't have enough cash to get expensive GTA Online cars early on.
