If you happen to win this contest and then bet on a horse that doesn't win, do you still owe taxes on the $50,000?

Since it's an award based on a random draw and not a gambling win, it doesn't seem like you could write off the $50,000 gambling loss against what appears to be a sweepstakes prize.

Any CPA's out there?
