I've been reading about those folks in Oprah's audience that got new cars are just now discovering that they owe a boat load of taxes. This reminded me of an old movie I once saw so did some googling and sure enough, this old Jimmy Stewart flick anticipated this problem 54 years ago:

One of Jimmy Stewart's most overlooked films. This picture is pure 1950's. Stewart is an overworked family man, (Similar to his role in Mr. Hobbs Takes A Vacation, but The Jackpot is a much better picture.) who wins a radio game show. Prizes range from the useful to the absurd. Everything is fine until he finds out he's got to pay taxes on all of his loot. Probably as much pure fun as any Jimmy Stewart picture.
