Examples: If you won a car, did you get a car without a hitch? Any help on insurance payments? Not the prize or cash you were promised?

    A friend of mine got roped into a game show when he was in Japan and ended up winning ~ $50,000 USD after taxes.

    I think it was one of those shows where you had to contort your body into particular shapes to fit through a sliding wall.

    Anyway, he bought a truck and paid off some of his family’s bills and now he’s running for some sort of city council position, but he’s kind of a dick so I wouldn’t vote for him.

      Not to be a dick or anything, but I found it funny that you chose to mention the political career and your opinion of him. Nice touch, but very much irrelevant. Keep up the good work!

          I honestly found it funny in a kind of a cute way, but I guess others didn’t feel that way. Oh well, such is life sometimes.
