Answer and Explanation:

All these situations are taxable under lottery tax in the U.S.A, under Federal tax rule, there is 25% amount of winning money you have to pay under lottery tax rule.

If the acceptance of the prize is not based on significant potential benefits and the payment is charged by the education department to a tax-exempt agency approved by Linda, option "C" might be withheld from income.
