I got laid off in 2001 when the stock market crashed. For a bit while I was looking for a job in my field, I worked at a game room that was attached to an enormous bingo hall (2 actually, 1 for morning bingo and another one for night bingo). Once a year, they had bingo that had a car as the grand prize. The cars weren't anything very nice, just very basic economy cars or I think a base model imported pick-up. I don't think anyone that won the cars actually took the cars. They required the taxes to be paid right away, or they had a cash option that was probably 1/4-1/3 the value of the vehicles. That's what everyone chose.
