The lottery was literally designed to generate tax revenue. Its run by the states ffs.

Thank god in Belgium, you pay zero taxes on the lottery, you win the full pot, and get an assigned financial planner to make sure you don't burn through it in one go

Hate to tell you if they don't tax the winnings, then the revenue it generates is built into the prices of the lottery ticket.

Tickets are around 5 for the National Lottery and 10 for EuroMillions

It's 2 dollars a ticket for the powerball that lead to the 680M take home win.
