absolutely not, unless you could somehow prove that you're a professional game show contestant (which, of course, you aren't)

You would only be able to deduct these costs up to the extent of your winnings as long as you itemize your deductions. If you do not itemize, then no.

They are only tax deductible to the extent that they offset the income you win - otherwise, no.

No I don't think so. Why should government subsidize your traveling for a game show. This is in fact what you're asking.

I think you may be able to deduct from your winning. If you don't win, no.

NOPE. Think of it as a vacation and then if you win, you win!!! If you lose, you had a vacation with better odds than Vegas.
