What US tax laws are concerned for winning a lottery or gambling overseas?

Asked by Zone36 (416points) December 25th, 2009

If I entered a lottery in Japan and I actually won something substantial, what tax laws in the US would I have to deal with?

What if I were gambling like slots and I won something substantial, what other laws would effect me?
