Re: prize money
It is unclear what prize you are referring to; all programs have their own rules, but the answer would be driven by the agreement contract that is signed detailing your decision for payout. It is not uncommon for the agreement to require that a beneficiary be named to receive the remaining payments, just as one would when setting up an IRA or life insurance.
