<prompt> Human: He won 350,000 on some one day lottery ticket thing. Is there anything he can do to get it not taxed to oblivion? I know theres a rule about gifting your spouse some amount of money tax free, but I dont know if it applies here and what not.  <response>: Gifting the lottery winnings will not reduce his taxes. He won the 350,000. He will be taxed on all of it. End of story.
