          petitioners’ right to receive future annual lottery payments does           
          not constitute a capital asset within the meaning of section 1221           
          and that the $1,040,000 that petitioners received from Singer is            
          ordinary income, and not capital gain.  See United States v.                
          Midland-Ross Corp., 381 U.S. at 57-58; Commissioner v. Gillette             
          Motor Transp., Inc., 364 U.S. at 134-135; Commissioner v. P.G.              
          Lake, Inc., 356 U.S. at 265-267; Hort v. Commissioner, 313 U.S.             
          at 31.                                                                      
               We have considered all of petitioners’ arguments and conten-           
          tions that are not discussed herein, and we find them to be                 
          without merit and/or irrelevant.                                            
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              


                                             Decision will be entered for             
                                        respondent.
