Fleet Star Truck and Trailer presents a unique opportunity to win 9.15 acres of prime commercial land in Ham Lake, Minnesota. This charitable giveaway, hosted on BetterWorld.org, accepts entries until February 28, 2026. Akil Ibrahim, the company’s owner, initially acquired the property for a truck terminal expansion. However, a desire to create a significant community impact led to a different approach. Ibrahim stated that the initiative aims to empower someone else to realize their vision, whether for a business, a community area, or another innovative concept, rather than developing the property internally.
The Prize: Commercial Land in Ham Lake
The 9.15-acre property is located along Ham Lake’s Highway 65 corridor, approximately 25 minutes north of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Its zoning permits various commercial uses, including warehousing, retail, office facilities, and mixed-use development, offering flexibility for the winner.
Anoka County plans significant infrastructure upgrades in the area, such as a $52 million Highway 65 reconstruction project set for 2028. Other reconstruction efforts through 2028 will focus on Lexington Avenue, Bunker Lake Boulevard, and Constance Boulevard.
Ham Lake spans 36 square miles and has over 16,000 residents. Its commercial environment has drawn interest from developers and business owners due to its direct highway access and closeness to the metro area.
Fleet Star has previous experience with commercial property in Ham Lake, having acquired a site on 159th Avenue for its transportation operations in 2021.

Eligibility
The sweepstakes is open to U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older. Full rules, eligibility criteria, and entry instructions can be found on the campaign website.
Motivation Behind the Sweepstakes
Fleet Star, a Minnesota-based business, demonstrates a commitment to community development. Instead of a conventional commercial sale, Ibrahim and his team identified a chance to generate a significant positive impact.
Ibrahim clarified that Fleet Star aims to foster economic empowerment and support entrepreneurship. This sweepstakes serves as a method to put that commitment into practice.
Key Information
The sweepstakes includes a contingency structure linked to fundraising goals. Fleet Star has established a minimum fundraising target that must be achieved by the entry deadline for the land transfer to occur as intended. Should the fundraising goal not be met by February 28, 2026, the entry period will be prolonged. If the campaign still does not reach its target after the extension, it will transition into a 50/50 raffle, where half of the funds collected go to the winner and the other half to the campaign organizer, as outlined in the official rules.
BetterWorld will select the winner using a random number generator system, assigning a unique number to each entry. One number will be drawn from the total entry pool to identify the recipient.
Winners will receive notification via the contact details provided upon entry. Fleet Star will arrange property transfer procedures with the chosen winner after the March 2 announcement. Participants should review the full rules and regulations on the campaign website before submitting entries.
