first off... it's a prize.. you don't see them taxing the dollar scratch off's that you win in a gas station...
secondly.. if they tax you when you first win the money, then why do they do it again at the end of the year?
consider this:
you work, you get money.. your money is taxed, they take a certain amount out of your paycheck (1st tax), then when you use your money to go buy stuff you get taxed again (2nd tax), and for the store(s) to even have the item, they have to buy it from the company which taxes them (3rd tax) and they have to buy the resources to make the product (4th tax).
