A Georgia man thought he hit the jackpot when he won $250,000 and a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray in a scratch-off lottery game in December, but he’s run into a roadblock cashing in on his new wheels.
Dennis Kahler told Fox News Autos he purchased one $5 Corvette and Cash ticket at a kiosk while his wife was waiting in line for lunch at a fast-food restaurant. He hadn’t previously played the game, but found a $5 bill in his pocket and decided to go for it. The contest promised the $250G plus enough to buy a fully-loaded Corvette Stingray and cover the taxes and fees and he gets to keep the difference if anything is left over from the $107G allotment for the car.
