can I spread the tax over a period of years .
Unfortunately, the income is reportable in year that won the car. You should have received a 1099-MISC reporting the car's FMV in box 3.
Note: Make certain that the FMV is recorded in Box 3 and not the sticker price of the car. You only want to pay taxes on the FMV of the car.
