They do not get to take 10,000 dollars for a 10,000 dollar trip or car or other prize and must also pay taxes on the value of the prize. If they could take the cash then the only time a person might actually choose the prize is if it was a unique item that really could not be purchased. However shows try to keep the prize winners happy and can sometimes offer an alternate prize option
