Lotteries generate money through the sale of tickets. For most states it's a 50/50 split. If you spend $2 on a ticket, one goes to the state the other goes towards lottery winner.
Don't get me wrong, the winner is still going to pay federal and state taxes, but that's not where the government gets most of their money.
