    Maybe it's just me, but there's no celebrity that's worth passing up 20K just to meet and play basketball with. Meeting him would be a cool story - but having no car payments, ring payments, or a healthy IRA would make a cooler story.

    Dio, if you do go, can I give you a pair of my Air Jordans to get autographed for me?

    That's awesome! "Charlie, you've won the golden ticket!!!"

    If you do happen to sell the redemption card on eBay does the transaction have to be declared to the IRS?

    Awesome, congrats ... but if you accept the prize directly from the sponsor you will have to pay about $5K in income tax (28% of $17.5K, unless you're making big bucks) and they usually make you do that up-front. So not quite "free".

    If you do happen to sell the redemption card on eBay does the transaction have to be declared to the IRS?
    Legally, yes. I have no idea what sales, if any, eBay reports to the IRS. When you win more than a coupla K at a casino they report it (or they used to, it's been a while) but I'm not sure if eBay is required by law/statute to do the same.

    Good luck!

    That is awesome. I have met MJ and he is very cool by the way. You probably should consider what kind of shape you are in before deciding to go. That is a real camp with real drills and you don't want to have a heart attack. That would be a tough decision for me. I would love to go to that camp, but banking $20K would be very nice too. Congrats!

    Wow. I am jealous and happy for you. It would be awesome to meet the greatest basketball player ever. However, getting rid of some debt and surprising your girl is far more important in my opinion. I say sell it, but that is just me. Anyway, big congratulations to you sir!!!
