And also the taxes that the government would make you pay for winning something. 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.
Well, I guess that we all learned a lesson today. That it's what's inside a person that counts. And that on the inside, midgets are thieving little bastards.
