Do you have to declare lottery winnings?

[kayode10]

One thing I discovered is that the lottery and gambling winnings are taxable within the law. I was thinking that this can only possible if the person involved the clear openly about their winnings. Some people said that is not the case.

One of the questions I want to ask you guys is that do you have to declare lottery winnings? I will be glad if anyone you can tell me his opinion on this question I'll be looking forward to your comments.
