So if you make 50K, after taking those prizes, it'll look like your income for the year is 217K (50+157+10). Then she would get taxed accordingly at, lets say 40%, which is 80+K in taxes (majority of the coming from the car). So unless she has the extra $ lying around to pay that off, she would have to sell the car. She would still be net positive, but it's not exactly like just winning a $157K

Everyone (should) has income, only a small few have 'winnings' - I prefer a system where the majority are better off (lower taxes) than a few that benefit (gamblers, lottery winners)
No, our system is not better

so, the game show trick is to find the poorest contestants and find the most expensive car possible for a grand prize knowing there is no way they can pay for the taxes and the show cashes in on the publicity and ratings bonanza... egh.

well.. By the link posted by Eff-1 it seems as though she CAN afford the taxes and wishes to keep the prize money, which is freaking sweet!

Even if she manages to sell the car off for damn near MSRP, her win really only adds up to around 100k. Not saying that isn't good money, but kinda lame how she probably won't enjoy the car she won....
