Default Re: Tax Time: Are you a professional gambler?

"I've heard that most lotteries are only paying out something like 20-40 cents for every dollar wagered. "

Lotteries? Most state laws I've seen (such as in PA) mandate around 45-53% of payouts for the big lottery pools. I don't know about scratch tickets.

Or are you talking about some type of slot machine?
