Despite not winning the game, it still seemed like you had a good time. Nice job, Chris.

@pesadilla143 : All game show prizes are taxable, just like income. You get a 1099-MISC form on your total winnings at tax time. Even the consolation prizes are considered "income", so there were a few consolation prizes that I waived just to avoid the tax on them. What really stunk is that I also had to pay California state income tax on it since it was earned in California.

Well, maybe you didn't win but nevertheless, you did get $5,750 out of it. I'm sure your fiance was proud of you. You got to spin the wheel when it still had $1,000 and $1,500, I miss those spaces. I also miss the way the wheel and the puzzleboard looked back then, too. WOF used to be glittering gold, now it's neon blue.

@6891man -- Not long, maybe a couple of minutes. The Wheel templates were just two large halves that was easy to put on and off. The puzzle changes took place literally both behind a curtain and behind our backs. We had our backs turned until right before the puzzle was revealed so there was no unfair advantages. What would happen is that Pat would do his intro to the next round, and then they did the setups, then played the last part of Pat's intro back as the puzzle was revealed.

@pricefan87: Believe me, you have *NO* idea how PO'd I was at the time that there wasn't a speed-up round played. And IMO there was plenty of time to do one -- just look how much time Pat wasted with that stupid snow thing at the end.

@Tubewings -- Most of it went towards getting my first (used) car at the time. The rest of it just kinda got blown here and there. You know how it is when you're young and you have money. :)

QUESTION IN THIS POST: Nice vid... I have a question. How do the taxes work? I hear cases of people abandoning big prizes because they couldn't afford to pay the taxes.
