Question:
Theoretically, if a frum person wins money from one of the lotteries, is this money considered kosher and may be used for various mitzvos and is considered tithable income.
The monies otherwise collected by the official State lotteries are used for a large number of public services and social programs.
Answer:
Hello,
The money seems pretty kosher to me, and yes the person has to take maaser form this money.
Best wishes
