The cash prize is 5 figures. The instructions were to schedule a call so they can verify by asking me a skill testing question. They will then e-transfer me the cash prize. The call is scheduled for today and I am still in disbelief, this is a nice chunk of money that will really help me ALOT.<\/p>\n<p>My question is, will there be any questions asked from my bank Tangerine or will the funds be on hold for receiving a 5 figure e transfer? There won&#39;t be any tax on any winnings in Ontario correct?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks<\/p>\n<p>&#x200B;<\/p>\n<p>Update #1 : I DM&#39;d Newton&#39;s official Twitter account and they confirmed that it is indeed a real email.<\/p>\n<p>&#x200B;<\/p>\n<p>Update #2 : Had the call with the social media manager who just asked me my date of birth and a very simple skill testing question (no bedmas required). They are just contacting all the winners first and then I will hear back from them sometime next week where they will be depositing the winnings into my bank account and not my crypto account.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Ill_Gas8697\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \/u\/Ill_Gas8697 <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/uyyl4o\/i_may_have_won_a_contest_with_a_cash_prize\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[link]<\/a><\/span> &#32; <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/uyyl4o\/i_may_have_won_a_contest_with_a_cash_prize\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><a href=\"\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I received an email from this contest I entered about how I was the winner.
