Astros fan wins 315 free donuts, $237 tax bill.
Theres' no such thing as a free breakfast. In the end, this guy was told to pay $237 tax on the eight donuts he collected from the prize.
This story features an unrelated picture of Paul O'Neill with a donut on a plate. Good times.

"Taxman" is probably in my top 5 for Beatles songs
Love the guitar riffs.
Also, this should be treated differently from winning a car. With a car there’s no question you’re the beneficiary of $X, and you can sell the car for $X if you so choose. You can’t sell a coupon (in fact, they usually say something like there’s no cash value associated with it), so its worth should be much less than the bakery’s estimate.
A food coupon carries no value anyway ...
… not when the food itself is deemed perishable and unfit for consumption past a very short period of time. FDA, IRS, WTF.
