There should not be taxes on lottery winnings. It is like being fined and or punished for winning the lottery. And then after being taxed on the winnings you are taxed again on whatever you choose to buy with the money. That is wrong.

The simple fact that the lottery is a voluntary defacto tax ALREADY should make it exempt from double or triple taxation. Full stop.
It is KNOWN to be the HIGHEST paid tax by the poorest of society, already.
Plenty of that money will IMMEDIATELY return to circulation through sales taxes, property taxes, service fees, etc
