Asheville Symphony 09 Boxster Raffle
 
Came across this in the latest issue of Excellence. Has anyone ever entered this contest? They've been doing it for years.

Asheville Boxster Raffle

http://www.ashevillesymphony.org/tic...chewebpic1.jpg

They have 650 tickets left as of 8/18 at $125 each.

I'm #291/999 :) Fat chance I'll win but wouldn't that be awesome! Just have to cough up the cash for taxes.

:cheers: :dance:

Hey, you got an unused $125 lying around - go for it! :cheers:

I entered it two years in a row.

It is indeed the best one out there because they pay the taxes on the car and it costs you something like $100 total if you win it.

Er, um, $100 + the $125 you paid for the raffle ticket.

Needless to say, I did not win.

This is what it says in regards to taxes...


"*The IRS now requires raffle winners to pay federal taxes on raffle winnings at the time of the award. The Asheville Symphony will pay to the IRS for the winner’s benefit an amount equal to 38.88% of our cost of the vehicle. The tax must be paid not only on the fair market value of the winnings, but also on the tax itself, therefore a grossed up tax rate of 38.88% of the winnings. This may or may not be the actual amount you will owe on your federal taxes. Please consult your tax advisor concerning your specific situation."
