Thanks!
Are ALL expenses paid on this? No taxes due, or delivery fee, etc? In other words, wont cost me a “nickel” if I win?
Hi Mr. Dills,
Stingray Chevrolet covers all taxes and fees except for any prize-related federal taxes. A 1099 form will be provided to the winner.
Thanks!
Is the car a manual transmission? Hopefully it is, but either way it would be awesome to win.
Hi David,
The Corvette is actually an automatic. Full specs can be found here.

I’m still waiting on the phone call telling me I’ve won the 2018 Corvette raffled off at the Plant City Strawberry Festival!!!?
Seriously, I want to commend Stingray Chevrolet on their generosity. I’m from Northeast Indiana and I have never seen a new car dealer be so giving to their local community.
Should I ever have the means to purchase a Corvette, I will purposely head down to Stingray Chevrolet in Plant City, FL.
Jim Goldinger of Pennsylvania, ticket #2018-13664, was this year’s lucky winner! Thank you so much for your kind words and for your contribution to a great cause! We look forward to assisting you in your future Corvette purchase or in any other vehicle needs you have. Thank you! 🙂

the raffle should be limited to Florida residents WHY? Because you can bet Over 80% of all entries were Florida, and more than 90% of all revenue was from that 80% Since you are local located and Floridians , especially local ones hear your constant advertising on radio and TV, and respond to it by donating…. Out of state people DO NOT…… Having more than 90% of all your charity revenue come from Florida while letting someone out of state sniper the win on a single ticket is insulting to everyone in this state who played and is closer to your local advertising . .
Mr. Kaminski,
We choose not to discriminate against anyone based on geography (or gender, race, religion, etc. for that matter). We stand behind the integrity of our vehicle raffle and therefore don’t “let” anyone win or not win – it all comes down to the luck of the draw. Feel free to stop by tomorrow at 2pm for the key presentation and the check presentation to Unity in the Community with the final total raised by the raffle from donations all over the country. 🙂
Thanks!
