AA winner turns down prize!
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/busin...ist/page3.html
The winner of the American Airlines "We Know Why You Fly" contest, which promised to award 24 round-trip tickets to the traveler who submitted the best video about his airborne experiences, turns down the grand prize. Why? Because American fails to cover the winner's federal, state, and local income taxes, which amount to about $19,000, or $800 per ticket.

Off-topic in this forum, but not off-topic in the AA forum, where it was discussed at great length several months ago:
