Thomas Horn of Whitewater was the winner of a new 1993 40th Anniversary Corvette, the grand prize in Sonic Drive-In's "Match Two To Win" game.
Horn was a customer at the Sonic Drive-In at Sikeston when he won.
"It's hard to believe," Horn said. "It's too good to be true."
Horn said his whole family is excited about him winning the car. "The guys at work don't believe it either," he said. "But I told them they could follow me to Sonic when I pick up the Corvette, so they can see for themselves."
Horn was awarded the car Thursday at a special presentation at the Sikeston Sonic, 216 N. Main.
"Match Two" was one of the highlights of Sonic's "Summer's Funner" promotion, which celebrates the drive-in chain's 40th anniversary.
