What Do You Say When You’ve Won a Free Trip to Maui?

Maui_4Check out this funny sound clip of a caller’s reaction when he wins an all-expense paid vacation to Maui from Detroit Radio Station WRIF 101:

DJ:  "Congratulations, you’re going to Maui!"

Caller:  "How much are the taxes going to be?"

From the contest rules:

101 WRIF will report the total value of each prize to the IRS and will furnish winners with a federal Form 1099. Winners must provide their social security number to 101 WRIF for tax reporting purposes, and are solely responsible for payment of all taxes incurred as a result of the award of a prize.
