On the topic of winnings costing you. The $2500 of free furniture added a little over a hundred dollars to our income taxes that year, as I recall. Also, I have a friend who won $25,000 on Who Wants to be a Millionaire when he was in college. His financial assistance that year was cut by about $23,000 due to his winnings.

In second grade over the course of one month I won both a 10-speed bicycle and a moped. I assumed this was setting up a lifetime of lucky breaks ... it's been downhill ever since :)

A friend won a car on 'The Price Is Right' and it's a whole thing with those taxes, you have to be able them right there that day!
