The answer

Lottery is forbidden gambling, and the money resulting from it is forbidden. It is not permissible to take it as a gift. It is permissible to take this money and spend it on the interests of Muslims and the poor, for it is lawful and good for the poor. When taking it, one should denounce the act of gambling to the party involved in it and clarify that the money is being taken to distribute it among the poor.
