great story...gotta love the part: "Terry and Linda sold the karaoke machine, the pool table, and the camper. They've kept the Big Green Egg"
-
Rather fascinating! I've forwarded it to the daughter of my wife's best friend who made it to one of Bob Barker's last shows. She won about $20k of prizes which they sold except for a small motorcycle they kept for their sons.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Thanks for posting--what an interesting story.
-
Yeah, thanks for posting. I like that they sold everything except the BGE!
-
what some people fail to understand, is the contestants need to pay income tax for the winnings, and that could be close to 30%, so selling most of there prizes is not uncommon, unless of course you got the cash to do it. still you come out ahead in some ways.
-
Yeah, I heard an interview with a guy that won $275,000 on who wants to be a millionaire. He said that they did not take taxes out at time of receipt, that you had to hold out the %40-45 to pay the following April. He did not, and didn't have a happy April 15th.
-
He wins $275K and gets $275K and the tax liability never dawned on him? What a brain trust!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Thanks for posting what a great article. I used to love that show but it lost a lot when Barker retired. I have never seen the BGE on it before... now I will watch for it.
-
One thing I've wondered is, since the shows are filmed in California, do you have to pay CA state income tax too? Anyone know?
-
That's a great article. Interesting. Long though. LOL.
As for winning 250K and not holding back for taxes. That guy's an idiot. Sorry...just not too bright.
