Anyone ever win a car or other vehicle via a raffle? I'm stupid and buy tickets to these raffles.

My mom won a Dodge Charger from a radio station in Shreveport. This was before I was born in 1969 I believe.

My mom won a car from a raffle at Pierre Bossier Mall back in the early 90s.

I almost won a brand new Silverado several years ago at a golf tournament. If you get a hole in one on a particular Par 3 hole, you win the truck. Was just feet away from the pin.

I think you end up paying taxes on the car IF you win. So yeah.

I missed winning a Honda Ridgeline in a golf tournament on a 225 yard par 3 by 3".
The tap in birdie sucked.

If you were "feet away" you didn't almost make a hole in one. Hit the pin or lip it out and you can say you almost made a hole in one.

What's the issue here? Sounds like a damn good deal to me.

Won an Intellivision game console that came with Pole Position ...so kind like winning a car ( for a 9yr old).
Won it out of a box of Coco-pebbles

I would assume that some people dont have the money to pay the taxes on the vehicle to begin with. And raffles are treated the same as winning the lotto or gambling. So the value of the car is also going to come into play.
You buy a raffle ticket for $2, the car has a fmv of 25k. Your winnings are worth 24,998. You would owe the 24% on that. And you would owe whatever local taxes once you register the vehicle, but that varies on where you are. Some states have 0% tax on vehicles, like Alaska.

Nothing totally wrong with it. If you plan to keep whatever they are giving you, you’re paying a good chunk of cash, likely getting a rate increase on insurance, and you might not want to get rid of whatever vehicle your currently have.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with winning a free car because you can still sell it. I’m just saying that it’s not as simple as “hey free car I’m driving off the course without anything else to think about. “
