Lottery winnings acquired during marriage are community property.
While it is generally true that community property in Texas is divided equally between the spouses in a divorce case, it is also important to note that this division does not have to be exactly 50/50. The court has the discretion to divide the property in a way that it deems to be fair and just, taking into account a variety of factors such as the length of the marriage, the contributions of each spouse to the marriage, and the needs of each spouse.
