Is the Government Going After Private Funds?

Is the Obama White House, in the name of socialism (you can deny it all you want lefties-even by any other name) going after private citizens gambling winnings? Is the lottery to be nationalized next? Wait for it. Gambling is not illegal as last I heard. Even if there are some shady dealings going on with this particular company, by what right does the government have in seizing legal, private winnings?
