Prize Wheel Takes Center Stage at 713 Day

Houston’s favorite hometown holiday, 713 Day, is getting the star treatment this year thanks to a powerhouse partnership between rapper Slim Thug and Checkers, America’s #1 French Fry restaurant. For over five years, Slim Thug and Checkers have teamed up to serve the community through events that uplift and give back — and this year’s celebration is shaping up to be the most exciting one yet.

At the heart of the festivities is a fan-favorite feature: the Prize Wheel — your ticket to exclusive 713 Day prizes, laughs, and unforgettable moments.

The Prize Wheel Experience

What’s more fun than free fries? Free prizes you get to win just by spinning a wheel. Whether you’re a longtime Slim Thug fan, a Checkers fry lover, or a family looking for a fun day out, the Prize Wheel is where the excitement happens. Spin to win limited-edition 713 Day swag, exclusive Checkers gear, and more surprises throughout the day.

The Prize Wheel stands tall, bold, and custom-designed to fit the 713 Day theme. It’s just one of many interactive experiences happening during the event, but it’s one that everyone—from kids to adults—will want to try.

More Than Just Prizes

The 713 Day Community Celebration is about more than giveaways—it’s about giving back. Hosted by national comedian Chinedu, the event features:

  • Free famous seasoned fries from the iconic Fry Love Express (a 43′ mobile fry truck)
  • School supplies for the first 300 students and teacher supplies for the first 100 educators (ID required)
  • Face painting, giant games (Jenga, Cornhole, Connect 4, Mini Golf, Football Toss, Yard Pong)
  • Music by a live DJ, a 360° photo booth, and a meet & greet with Big Slim (AKA Slim Thug) from 1–2 PM — including a signed, exclusive 8×10 713 Day collector’s print

Why It Matters

“Checkers Houston values community and we are making an effort to support our community in the best way possible. 713 Day is a Houston Holiday and we are ready to represent,” says Checkers Ambassador, Slim Thug.

From feeding families in Cuney Homes to supporting HBCU students, the partnership between Checkers and Slim Thug continues to show up where it counts. The Prize Wheel and its celebration of fun and community spirit perfectly represent that mission.
