While speaking with the
Corvette Forum, Dennis Kahler revealed that he purchased a scratch-off ticket in the Georgia Lottery, winning himself a new Corvette valued at up to $107,000, as well as $250,000 in cash. Georgia Lottery was meant to work with local dealerships to supply the winner with their dream Corvette.
Kahler’s ideal 2021 Corvette Stingray is a 2LT model in Rapid Blue with the Z51 performance package. It has an MSRP of $80,465, meaning he can enjoy some added cash, in addition to the $250,000 he won.
The first snag that Kahler hit is the fact that pretty much every 2021 C8 Corvette ordered already has an owner. In addition, he says that the first dealership tapped on the shoulder by Georgia Lottery, Five Star Chevrolet, was only willing to let him order his dream Corvette for a $10,000 markup.

Dennis Kahler told Fox News Autos he purchased one $5 Corvette and Cash ticket at kiosk while picking up lunch for his wife at a fast-food restaurant.
