Great idea, but too complex since some people are below an income threshold - which means they are not even required to file an annual return with the IRS.

Just make it a ‘straight’ lotto game. You mail $5 per lotto ticket (for as many as you want) to the Federal Lotto Admin. using your SS#. There is one winner a month - the prize is $10million. No taxes!!!

It would raise $billions and cost nothing.

To have such winnings be free of tax, you’d need Congressional approval...which you need for the Wall. IOW, no difference. It is a good proposal, but stands exactly as much chance as the Wall itself...which is to say, zero until after the election and its RED wave.
