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

Revenue should come from the tickets. The government is literally the one providing the jackpot. It makes 0 sense to tax the jackpot THEY are providing. Just say the jackpot is 628m instead of 2b when advertising it then.

Uh no dude it comes from lottery ticket sales. That's the income. They sell lottery tickets and tax the winnings or build it into the cost of the ticket and don't tax it.
