I would assume it would make more sense logically to keep the tag, get the truck, sale it and it use the money towards what you believe. Basically have cca paying for what you feel will be beneficial.
But I would bet dollars to donuts that you wouldn't actually turndown a new truck given you won it.

Good point. Let's see who has the nads to do that. I surely don't.

Why not play catch and release instead of slamming the throttle down when you've caught your limit? You can still catch however many you want, just can't keep them. That's what fishing has over hunting. How cool would it be on those rare mornings if you could continue to "catch and release" ducks after your limit.
I don't necessarily have an issue with catch and release, but I don't do it with legal fish (with a few exceptions). Harvest limits are set for a reason....as a means of management. Conservative limits aren't beneficial, because they leave too many fish in the ecosystem, and it reduces the health of this fish. Just look at all of Mathgeek's studies. Limits need to be set based on the science available. Limits (or regulations) that are too conservative can be just as detrimental to a population as limits that are too liberal.

****, I'd sell it in a heartbeat and pay off my truck, and probably find something to do with what ever is left. They never give away a truck I want anyway.

Most that play lotteries like this don't have the means to buys what is being given away, hence the symbiotic relationship.

Me, I won't play whether broke or well off. It's a bad investment if you look at the odds logically.

Screw the tag, the trash truck, and the boat that you have to spend months wading through paperwork on and going pick up the trailer in a separate location.

If it were a Haynie and a Coloraydo. Full a stickers... Count me in
