    According to current tax laws, lottery winnings invested in cryptocurrency are not exempt from capital gains tax. When you sell your cryptocurrency and make a profit, you will be subject to capital gains tax based on the difference between the purchase price and the selling price. It's important to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific tax implications in your jurisdiction.

    Unfortunately, there is no special exemption for capital gains tax on lottery winnings invested in cryptocurrency. Just like any other investment, when you sell your cryptocurrency and make a profit, you will need to report it as capital gains and pay the appropriate taxes. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax advisor to ensure compliance with tax laws.
