Very cool car! But I bet whoever wins it won't keep it, they'll just sell it.

That's certainly what I would do. I'd sell it, buy a new Vette AND a bigger house, and pocket the change.

I probably would sell it too, but not right away. I would enjoy it a bit then sell it get a Lambo Murcielago or Ferrari F430 and have a whole lot of cash left over.

COLD HARD CASH!!!! Personally, I think it would be cooler to win the car than the 1,000,000 cash. If you won the cash, you would never buy this car, you probably would do something useful with the money If you won the car, you could enjoy it for a bit and probably sell it for almost, if not the same price as it is worth, maybe even more if it is that exclusive..then you could do the responsible thing with the money........NOT

27 car to win, one of which is a 2008 Corvette. Pic shown is that of a Z06 but the description does not mention which model.

Personally, Other than the Grand Prize, I'd like to win the early bird prize. 50 hours of flying time in a learjet to anywhere plus $50,000 of cash. But I won't say no to any of the other prizes if I won.

I like this rule:

There will be no cash “in lieu of” option.
Forces me to accept the mighty beast, increasing my chances of keeping it for a while and sticking my nose up to those Lambo and Ferrari snobs....

Yeah. But we have our own Cash and Cars lottery version too. Too bad it's over for 2008. I had 6 tickets. Not even $5. Supposed to be 1 in 3 odds to win something.

I had one of those $100 tickets recently for one of those hospital lotteries, and all I won was a pair of underwater binoculars

I don't buy those hospital lottery tickets. I bought once, and when
checking the list of winners (on-line) I noticed someone had won
three prizes (a car, $100,000, and another cash prize) all on the
same ticket. Seems his ticket was pulled out three times

Somehow I don't think I'm in your league ! Driving it will reduce the value by only $200,000 !
