If Rupert Boneham wins the $520,000 first prize in Thursday night's special fan favorite "Survivor" edition, he says he is done "swingin' a hammer" for a living.

The $520,000 figure is not a misprint -- he's already checked with a tax authority, and he'll have to pay 48 percent of the million-dollar prize to Uncle Sam up front.
