Win a 2027 Corvette Stingray C8 — or $50,000 Cash — from the AACA Museum

What you're looking at

The grand prize isn't a specific car sitting on a lot — it's a voucher, redeemable through Turner Chevrolet, toward a new 2027 Corvette Stingray in 1LT trim ("base model with standard options"), the winner's choice of color. Under the hood that's GM's naturally aspirated 6.2-liter LT2 V8 in the roughly 490-495 horsepower range, backed by the C8's 8-speed dual-clutch automatic (Chevy hasn't offered a manual on this generation) sending power to the rear wheels. If the winner doesn't want a Corvette at all, the rules let them take $50,000 in cash instead.

Why it matters

AACA Museum, Inc. — despite the acronym, not affiliated with the Antique Automobile Club of America — is a real 501(c)(3) and Smithsonian Affiliate running "America's Transportation Experience" out of Hershey, PA. Proceeds fund the museum. Tickets are capped hard at 3,000, sold for $55 each (or $50 each if you buy more than one at a time), which is a meaningfully smaller field than the open-ended online sweepstakes this magazine usually covers — better arithmetic odds if the drawing runs at full sales.

The fine print worth knowing

The headline prize is conditional, and it's spelled out plainly in the rules: "If fewer than 2000 tickets are sold by 2:00 pm on October 10, 2026, the raffle will be held as scheduled but conducted as a '50/50' drawing, with 50% of the net revenue divided among the three prizes. The first-prize winner will receive an amount equal to 45% of the collected net revenues." The museum's own worked example: sell only 1,100 tickets (about $55,000 net) and the "grand prize" winner gets $24,750 — no Corvette, no $50,000. Clear the 2,000-ticket floor and the full voucher-or-$50K structure kicks in as advertised.

There's also no free way to enter. Every ticket costs money — the rules state tickets are available "by mail, online, in person at selected AACA Museum, Inc. events, at the AACA Museum, Inc. located at 161 Museum Drive, Hershey, PA 17033, and from volunteers located across the state," with payment by "cash, check, or PayPal linked to a bank account" only, no credit cards. That's standard for a state-licensed charitable raffle (which operates under gaming law rather than sweepstakes law), but it's different from most giveaways we cover, which are required to offer a no-cost mail-in entry.

Online ticket sales close at 5:00 pm on October 9, 2026; on-site sales at the museum continue until 2:00 pm on October 10, with the drawing itself at 3:00 pm that day in the museum's lobby. The raffle isn't legal in Alabama, Hawaii, Kansas, South Carolina, or Utah, and museum employees (and their household members) can't win, though board members, officers, and volunteers can.
