If the money has been cashed out, it is very possible to still be bequeathed to the children. But in case the moeny has not been cashed, it may be difficult to claim the money except there are many evidences to support the claim.

Yes, children can inherit lottery winnings from their parents if the parent names them as beneficiaries in their will or trust. If the parent dies without a will or trust, then the laws of intestacy in the state where the parent lived at the time of their death will determine who inherits the winnings.

I think even if the parent names their child as a beneficiary in their will or trust, there may still be tax implications for both the parent and the child. Inheritance tax laws vary by state, so it's important to consult with an estate planning attorney to ensure that the proper steps are taken to minimize tax liabilities.
