Legitimate sweepstakes do not require upfront money in order to pay a winner...NEVER! Winners pay taxes AFTER they receive the winnings.

If you are contacted without entering the sweepstakes, it is not a legitimate sweepstakes. Even if you entered a sweepstakes, remember that legitimate sweepstakes NEVER require upfront money in order for the person to collect their winnings.

First, many people say that "Winners International" is a scam-- it claims you won money in a sweepstakes, but really, you did not; the scammer is trying to get your personal information and tells you that you must first pay a "handling fee" to receive your winnings.

Not necessarily, it depends on how big and what type of winnings they are. (e.g.: If you hit a single pay jackpot of $1200 or more) you will have to produce it so that your winnings can be reported to the IRS for tax purposes.
