    Is winning the Xbox S from the sweepstakes worth it?


    I've gotten an xbox wishlist on my account, I was thinking of getting the Xbox S so I could play the games I want. I heard you have to pay taxes for something expensive. I mean the xbox s is worth 299.99.

    Should I bother with the sweepstakes or save up for the xbox s?

    :)

    Legally you must pay taxes, or at least declare, pretty much anything that comes into your possession

    Given that taxes on it would likely be under $20, not seeing the downside :)

    It would still be worth it to enter. Taxes on something that small wouldn't be much. Generally only sweepstakes prizes worth $600 or more need to be reported I believe.

    The odds depend on how many people enter the sweepstakes. So its probably about the same as winning the lottery but still worth a shot!

    Hello SnakierIce55222,

    Since you did not enter the Forza sweepstakes, you did not win any prizes from that sweepstakes.
