I'm kind of surprised the USA taxes lottery winnings and I live in one of the heaviestly taxed countries. We don't tax lottery winning or other winnings from games of chance. Only winnings from games where some skill is involved (like poker I believe) is taxed.

They say the taxes generated are used strictly for education but they just cut the amount the lottery tax generates out of the budget and using it on tax breaks for the wealthy and still continue to pay teachers dog shit. This country is truly depraved in every way.
