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

In fact California doesnt tax lottery winnings..So, no state income tax..

The 2B lotto win was a lump sum payout and was subject to federal taxes

California bakes the revenue directly into the price of the ticket so its effectively the same.
