PRICE WAS RIGHT, BUT TAXES TOO MUCH, TO VISIT MANITOBA

A New Hampshire man who won a trip to Manitoba on The Price is Right turned down the trip because the taxes were too high. Lee Norton won a six-night stay at the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg on the Dec. 4 episode of the game show. The trip also included a one-day visit to Churchill to see polar bears. The hotel told CTV Winnipeg that Norton declined the trip because of the taxes he would have to pay. The game show promised contestants “a winter they will never forget” with a chance to “watch polar bears in their natural habitat in beautiful Canada.” Norton had already won a motorcycle and turned down the chance to win a trip to Morocco when he got the opportunity to play in the Showcase Showdown, Global News reported.
