Did you know that if the contestant lived in an apartment and if they won a Hot Tub, they can get screwed! Because . . . . I thought that they could just opt for cash at a reduced rate. But no. . . . .
Show's policy:
Don’t expect to get the cash value of your prize if you win — you either claim your prize, or decline it.
“The show wants to give you the prize that you won, not just the cash.”
So even if a contestant who lives in Oklahoma not near any large lakes ends up winning a boat, the producers will “strongly encourage” the contestant to take the boat.
“We’re in the business of giving things away they say. “There’s usually someone in your family who does live near the water, (oh really) or a way to sell it — something that you could do that would benefit you greatly.
I say That sucks!
In addition, not only are the contestants sometimes stuck with a prize they can't use, they have to pay "sales tax" where applicable on that item! Sucks again!
