Seems a reasonable position if you're running an official state lottery. In the US, of course, you would have to pay taxes on the winnings. Customs does apparently confiscate lottery tickets, when they happen to find them. Presuming you got in with your ticket, I don't know if you'd have trouble collecting the prize.
