"My mom and I went to The Price is Right and my mom got called down, got onstage, and won her game. She did not win her wheel spin, unfortunately. But she won $10,000 cash from her game so that was pretty good. Can’t complain about winning a bunch of cash. I think about 30-40% went to taxes."

In Australia, lottery or game show prizes are considered a windfall, not income, and are tax free.
