The Grand-Prize is a 1969 Corvette 427 convertible and a 2013 Corvette 427 convertible plus forty-five thousand dollars ($45,000.00) to be applied toward the winner's IRS withholding requirement for federal income taxes (approximate retail value of the Grand-Prize is $200,000) or an alternate cash prize of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00 subject to IRS withholding requirements). Winner must notify the Sponsor of his or her selection of either the Grand-Prize vehicles or the alternative cash prize within 7 days from the date notice is sent. Pursuant to paragraph 9 above, once Conditional Grand Prize winner is certified, arrangements will be made to award the Grand-Prize.

The Grand-Prize Winner must provide proof of insurance on both vehicles and a valid driver's license in order to receive the Grand Prize (if he or she selects the cars). The Grand-Prize will be awarded at 1225 East Maple Road Troy, MI 48083 on or about January 24, 2014 or at a reasonable alternate location and date determined solely by the Sponsor.

The Grand-Prize Winner agrees to participate in the award ceremony as a condition to receive the Grand Prize. Should the Grand-Prize winner select the vehicles as the Grand- Prize the Sponsor agrees to pay forty-five thousand dollars ($45,000) on behalf of the Grand-Prize Winner to be applied toward their IRS withholding requirement, (resulting from winning the CDG Grand-Prize) and paid prior to the due date. For purposes of federal taxes, the net fair market value of the vehicles, not the approximate retail value of the Grand-Prize, plus the forty-five thousand dollar ($45,000) withholding requirement for federal income taxes paid on behalf of the winner, as of the date the winner receives the Grand-Prize, will determine the net value of the Grand-Prize. Grand-Prize Winner is responsible for all taxes resulting from winning the Grand-Prize including all federal, state and local, taxes, fees, assessments and like charges. Prize is non-transferable and no substitution will be made except as provided herein at the Sponsor's sole discretion.
