"You've won a car!"
"I can't drive!"
"Oh... well we'll sort out some driving lessons as well then!"

is how I think Bruce Forsyth reacted when that happened on Price is Right.

If you win money, more freedom as to what you do with it. All very well winning a speedboat on Bullseye if you live on the 7th floor of a tower block in Wolverhampton, where the frig are you going to store that? I always wondered what happened if you live halfway up a tower block and win some totally inappropriate prize like a conservatory or something, though from that article it seems to imply you've won it, not our problem if you can't use it or have any room for it.

There was the story of two blokes who won a car on Bullseye. They flogged it, split the difference and were better off for it as, for some reason I can't recall now, when they sold it they got more than the cash value of the car would have been in the first place had Bully just waved a cheque at them.

Of course its worse in America because you have to hand over something obscene like 40% of everything you win (or its cash equivalent) to Uncle Sam, and I think it was Oprah Winfrey who gave a car to every member of the audience on a show of hers once, and that screwed up everybody's tax return.
