Default Corvette Dream Giveaway
Is this for real? Does anyone knows if the money really ends up with the Kids Wish Network? I have not seen anything about the giveaway on this forum so I wanted to know your opinion before sending money.

It's advertised in the NCRS Driveline too. If it is legit that's 2 pretty sweet cars!
I'd like to find out how much goes to the Kids Wish Network. I'd certinally buy a few tickets if it's a good percentage after the costs of the cars are covered that goes to the charity.

They'll pay the first $75K in taxes. It's a heck of a prize and they cover the tax... what's left for the kids???

It's in Hot Rod and Car Craft magazines, if that helps.

Did you actually get tickets or did they just take your money?

I got flyers via Volvette and bought 50 tickets (you never know )

What happens to the tax that it is due if you export the cars to Europe?

I would keep the 67, I am open for offers on the other one

It must be pretty well publicized. I was hoping none of you guys had heard of this lottery drawing...would have increased my odds.

Odds you win are 50%, either you win or you don't.
