wow you really have to pay that in taxes? jesus man

Yup, just like on the game shows that you see on TV, the bigger prizes they have to pay tax on those things when they recieve them.

It has to do with the cost of what ever the prize is, not sure of what the limit is.

And your government is probably going to want to tax you as well.

damn I cant even afford to win, PLEASE DONT LET ME WIN ROFL

seriously though, what would I do if I won? see if anyone wanted to go tradsies on a 6 core intel ;)

Agreed on not being able to afford to win.

So you win the thing and decide to sell it, picture your paypal account with 8-10 grand going through it or what ever all that costs. You also have to report that as income come tax time because paypal will notify IRS of all this as they do with any big seller on ebay.
