Examples: If you won a car, did you get a car without a hitch? Any help on insurance payments? Not the prize or cash you were promised?

I had a friend who won an episode of jeopardy, no issues getting paid out. (he lost on the next episode)

When I was a kid, my dad won a trip for 2 to Hawaii by being the 7th caller on a radio station. No issues with that either and they let us buy on a 3rd person so I could go with my parents.
