It seems like unless you have some cash to spend, you're screwed right off the bat. It'd be nice to win a home (my wife and I are looking to buy our first one right now) but I'd have to take out a loan just to pay off the taxes.
The home was on the market for $265,000. If you win, just sell it for like $150,000, pay the taxes, and still have about $100,000 for a down payment on an affordable home.
