have you ever won anything, ever.
I have entered many a contest and I have hardly ever won anything worthwhile. I think I may have won $20.00 once on the lotto.
Do you enter contests and do you think the game shows and contests are rigged in any way?
I have heard people who won cars were unable to afford the taxes on the cars and so had to settle for a few hundred dollars in lieu of a brand new vehicle.

I don't even watch TV anymore since I moved my entertainment to the computer. I'm sorry, but I don't really know who Bob Barker is and his show's claim to fame.

no, I have not won anything. do not enter in any contestes because you know you are going to be taxed in the long run. Just like when Oprah gave her studio audience a brand new car. They did not tell you that they had to pay taxes on those things. It does happens. So, the most that I have won from anything would have to be when I had a number in the Pick-It and won a totoal of $7. That was great, considering I usually win $2 or something like that. And no taxes needed to be paid for that, either.

I enter online contests. It is good to enter one time only contests and instant wins. I have won some good stuff like gift cards, movie tickets, coupons for free stuff, and some other stuff.
If you win a car, it is better to sell it and then pay off the taxes because you most likely won't be able to pay for it if your spending time entering sweepstakes and the car will be old by the time it is actually yours. Sell the car and enjoy the money on something else.

I have never won anything...not even online... I think they are rigged in some way. It seems the same people always win. I do watch gameshows, I loved the shows press your luck and lets make a deal.
I cant believe that Bob Barker is going to retire. I have watched him since I was little, thats really sad!

It is a good show in spite of him.
I win from time to time.
I play some games.
I don't know if they are rigged.
It is true that you have to pay the taxes on your winnings but you are wrong as to how much you get. They have a buyout amount that is a lot more than a few hundred dollars. It is better than half the price of the car.

I 've watched the Price is Right many times.unfortunately I've never been on the show and I've only won $7.00 on the lottery.
THe most valuable thing I've every won is the heart of my closest confidante and he knows who he is....
