Sold-out allocations and dealer mark-ups hindered Georgia Lottery winner from retrieving his prize of a brand-new Corvette, but Jim Ellis Chevrolet came to the rescue.
At Jim Ellis, you can truly expect the best and we wouldn’t do that to our family members so we don’t do that to our customers. Treat everyone like family – it’s part of our company promise. ATLANTA (PRWEB) January 29, 2021 Jim Ellis Chevrolet, a family-owned and operated car dealership in Atlanta, helped source a Corvette Stingray for Georgia lottery winner whose scratch-off earned him $250,000 in cash plus a new Corvette. Dennis Kahler struck big with the Georgia Lottery in December 2020 but ran into a predicament when lottery officials did not have a Corvette available for him. After Jim Ellis Chevrolet learned about Kahler’s issue, they deci
As the old saying goes, ask, and ye shall receive. One Georgia man did all the asking he could after he was told he wouldn’t be able to get the car he’d won at the lottery in 2021, and the Internet came through for him.
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.

NEW YORK - 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 kiosk while picking up lunch for his wife 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.
