No reason to doubt this happened but keep in mind if they did only this then you would still owe tax on the amount they paid, then if they paid this amount you would owe tax on the new payment they made on your behalf. This continues until the amount is down to mere pennies or else whoever this company is stops paying the never ending tax accumulation.


IE: You win $1000,000, the same company pays the $40,000 tax bill you owe on the $100K win, now you owe taxes on the $40K they paid and so on and so forth.
