The trip was non-transferrable. I couldn't give the trip to my brothers. (They would have loved it) They didn't offer a cash opt out prize. (Would have made a huge contribution to the church building fund  ) They wouldn't let me take a smaller prize either. (Which was what I really wanted!!) They will simply pass the trip to someone else.
I wonder what hubby is gonna think when he finds out I turned down the trip to Arizona. Maybe he won't be too upset that I turned down a FREE vacation for two. He will probably be thankful that he doesn't have to pay the taxes on the $4300 trip. |
Too bad Tina.
In Canada we pay no taxes on any prize winnings-ever!
If you won a million you would get a million!
