I don't believe ther is anything called seperatly earned income...and have no idea what you think it is. Lottery, or gambling, or any of those types of income are considered and taxed as ordinary income.

Can you claim loss earnings from lotto tickets?

In general, gambling losses can only be used as deductions to offset gambling winnings. If you report gambling income of $1000, but you had to buy $500 worth of lotto tickets to get that $1000, then you can probably deduct the full $500. If, however, you spent the same amount but only report $300 of winnings, then you could only deduct $300. If you don't report any gambling winnings, you can't deduct anything. Because the consequences of getting this wrong can be substantial, you are strongly encouraged to consult a local tax professional.

Yes....and lord knows how you draw the line differently from a sweepstake or lottery. It isn't how you won it, (a card game, slot machine, buying a ticket, or having a number drawn out of a hat) it is what it is - winnings. Winnings are ordinary income. You will pay taxes at whatever rate is determined by your total taxable income. If you can itemize, gambling losses are 100% deductible up to the amount of winnings. Don't forget those lotto tickets!
