This should be reported as "Other Income". to enter in TurboTax, while in your return:

Click on Search and Type "Other Income" in the search window, and hit "Enter"
Click on "Jump to Other Income"
Enter the information from your Form 1099-MISC, and click on Continue
Enter a description such as "Prize Winnings" and click on Continue
On the screen with "Does one of these uncommon situations apply?", indicate "None of these apply"
Answer "No..." to "Did the 'Other Income' involve work that's like your main job?"
Answer "I got it in 2022" when asked "How often did you get income for 'Other Income'?"
Answer "No, it didn't involve an intent to earn money."

The amount will be reported on line 8 of Schedule 1 (Form 1040).
