Adam U. from Baltimore, Maryland, didn’t win what he wanted. The 717 Supply participant had purchased a $30 combo pack specifically to enter for two restored Chevy OBS trucks—a two-door Tahoe and a Silverado. Instead, he won a 2025 Kia Telluride worth considerably more than his hoped-for vehicle. The prize also included a family vacation and $10,000 in cash.
“I wanted that two-door Tahoe,” Adam admitted during the reveal at 717 Supply’s Pennsylvania headquarters. Founder Mike Hyssong pointed out the irony: “So you wanted the $30,000 two-door Tahoe, but you got the $50,000 Kia,” and added, “I think you’re the only person in history to ever win second place and get more value.”
The automatic entry system explained the unexpected outcome. Anyone entering for the OBS trucks received entries for other active giveaways, including the Telluride. Adam's modest investment targeted vintage Chevrolets but delivered a brand-new three-row SUV instead.
His initial reaction favored the cash option over keeping the striking gray Kia. “At first I thought, ‘All right, we’ll take the cash,’” Adam explained. Family discussions shifted that calculation. “After we thought about it a little bit, I was like, ‘You know what? Maybe the vacation would be a little bit more fun, take the whole family on it.’”
