Boca Raton, Fla.—Roberts Consolidated Industries has announced the winners of the Roberts 80th Anniversary Giveaway Sweepstakes, which ran through the end of 2018.

Don Lewis of Lewis Flooring in Hillsboro, Mo., was chosen as the grand-prize winner. He received a restored, one-of-a-kind antique 1938 Dodge Pickup Truck, which pays homage to the year Roberts was founded.

On June 10, the Roberts team joined Lewis and his family at a luncheon held at E.J. Welch’s Earth City, Mo., location to celebrate. When asked about his new truck, Lewis said,“It’s still hard to believe that I won. I have a large group of family members that will enjoy the truck for many years to come.”

Roberts also acknowledged the 10 runner-up winners with care packages containing a Roberts limited edition 10-505 Pro Gel Knee Kicker (only 1,938 manufactured and etched with a unique number and 80th anniversary logo), a Roberts-branded jacket and a Roberts T-shirt.
