happens more than you think
if a college kid, or someone who does not have very much money wins it..it can be difficult to come up with the money quickly
you could easily sell it as soon as you receive it, and make a nice chunk of change, but the fact remains you have to cough up the tax BEFORE you gain ownership
like i said, just a friendly reminder

lots of contests locally, it doesn't work that way
prize or nothing
they usually offer someone who can not afford to pay the taxes a gift with a money value less than that which is taxable
with my company I am involved in a few of these, so I kinda know the ropes
The contest did NOT state that money could be taken instead, so it would be wise to find out BEFORE winning
Non US can get cash, I think they'd give you an option. I doubt the vehicle is purchased already.
Please note that due to increased shipping costs throughout the world, any winning poster who resides outside of the United States must either pay customs and shipping costs or take an equivalent of the price of the unit in cash. We are sorry for the inconvenience, however in order to run these contests year-round, we are forced to implement this rule, which will only affect posters who live outside of the United States.

Reading it over it sounds like a good chance nobody hits a 12 teamer ( about 4,000-1 odds). Limited to active will reduce entries.
I can't see them buying ahead of time, buy it when you know where the winner lives, if there is a winner.
Great prize, but I'd rather have cash equivelant if I win, I'm sure many would want the same.
Excellent to have a chance to win this.
Thanks, Skybook.

Well Doug the odds are MUCHHHHHHH better than that! Most of these props are correlated out the ass!! For instance, if you take the game under 37.5, then you probably take no score the first 8 minutes, you take no for over 1.5 TD passes, fourth quarter under 13.5 points etc! It would be the same for over betters.
I would think that this is more like an 8 team parlay or possibly a 9 team parlay.
I would think that the overall odds would be down closer to around 250 to 1 or so and probably closer to 150:1 since these props are so correlated
