Over a certain dollar amount the casino is required to issue you a 1099-G and it's generally a better idea to have a good chunk of tax withheld immediately from the winning as opposed to promising yourself you wont spend it all only to owe 30% of it to the government later lol.

It's not the dollar amount, its the odds on the bet - I a really got two forms, since I got paid the jackpot and the actual suckered bet separately. The sucker bet was like a 800 bucks payout

Probably the webcam I won from a car dealership promotion.

Or a giant stuffed animal from an amusement park.

A couple hundred jellybeans and a vase for guessing how many were in the vase. Also a 25$ gift card to the florist I won it from. Too bad they were those gross brachs jellybeans and not jellybelly

I won a couple Smash tournaments at my college, they were like 20 bucks each maybe? The top 2-3 Melee players there were much better than me, so I kinda lucked out that one was just for my dorm, and the other wasn't even Melee, it was Brawl just after launch (which I never even played much or got very good at).

If we're talking luck based things like lotteries pretty much nothing.

If we include competitions I've won a lot of money and prizes, probably over $10,000 total playing Yugioh back when I was pro at it.

When I was a kid I went to the carnival and the trainer onstage selected me to ride an alligator.

$150 from a college football contest on the Sports and Racing board.

Dunno how, considering I barely watch college football, and am generally bad at picks for pro football (which I do watch), but everyone gets lucky sometimes, I guess?

5 figures for a woman running a red light and smashing into my buddy's car, scarring my face

Oh, I guess if we're counting this sort of thing, my answer is ~$2600 from getting knocked over by a car when I was walking to the school bus in 7th grade. I'm pretty sure the only part of the money I actually got was to buy a Gameboy Color and Pokemon Gold, and my mom did who knows what with the rest of it.

Two tickets for a music festival. Had to pay for the travel, and also thought they wouldn't give me (had thrown away the winning gum package, because when do you expect to win these promotions?), but I went and it rocked!
