I love playing the lotto. I have had to pay taxes on my wins for a few years. Usually, I am a lucky gambler....You know what I call the lottery....A poor man's dream!
Why not collect losing tickets then to avoid the taxes? My uncle hit $30,000 on a slot in AC once and bought $30,000 worth of losing lotto tickets for $800 from some guy on the street to offset the taxes. He paid nothing to the govt.
