That's an interesting take. Makes me wonder about past walks and if there had ever been one without a 'winner', or if there is a winner and they were to die right after, would 'the prize' be extended to the walkers family? Do we think in a situation like that the Major would have something up his sleeve to give the general public what they want?
They talked about a race in which the winner died shortly after, so this sort of happened before.
One of the characters had earlier, (in an insane state), yelled something about how there’s no winner and that the major will bring you behind a barn and shoot you afterwords. This could be King confirming that the winner does die. Maybe not even physically. Garraty didn’t even long to see his mother or Jan at the end. I’m not sure he’ll ever recover and that could’ve been what King meant.
