I've seen many contest that offers cars and even house as the grand prize and ppl actually won it. My question is do they need to pay tax on the prize?
Say a person win a car worth rm100k, does the person get taxed according to the value of the car?
How about if the person sold off the car and take the money, will it be taxed?

Income Tax taxes on income.
To qualify as income the receivables must satisfy two conditions: It must be a periodic/regular, it must come in from a defined source.
Your above scenario of receivables does not satisfy the first condition, hence it is not defined as income.
Not taxable.
