(AUSTIN) – Kevin Sugiarto, of Fresno, Texas won a 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT® Hellcat at an event
today in Dallas. The car was given away by the Texas Lottery and Richard Rawlings, star of
DISCOVERY CHANNEL's top-rated show Fast N' Loud and owner of Gas Monkey Garage™.
When asked how it feels to win a new car Sugiarto said, “Priceless. I’ve never had a new car in my life.
It will help me in so many ways.”
“It’s been awesome to be in partnership with the Texas Lottery and I am very happy for Kevin and I
hope he enjoys his Hellcat, said Richard Rawlings.
The grand prize is valued at $99,999.33 including state sales tax, title and registration fees, and federal
withholding tax. The car will be customized Gas Monkey Garage™.
Players of the Texas Lottery’s Gas Monkey Garage™ scratch ticket had the opportunity to enter tickets
that did not win instant cash prizes into promotional second-chance drawings for a chance to become a
finalist to win the grand prize, a 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT® Hellcat. Four finalists were chosen from
four separate drawings to participate in today’s event. Each finalist selected a number corresponding to
a Gas Monkey Garage™ door and Sugiarto’s door was the only door that opened to reveal the new car.
The Gas Monkey Garage™ scratch ticket generated $11.4 million in sales and an estimated $2.6 million
in revenue for public education in Texas. In addition to the chance to win the 2017 Dodge Challenger
SRT® Hellcat, the $2 scratch ticket offered more than $8.6 million in total prizes, including five top
prizes of $25,000.
