Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

OPINION

CHIECHI, Judge:

Respondent determined a deficiency in petitioners' Federal income tax (tax) for 1997 in the amount of $210,166.

We must determine whether the amount that petitioners received in exchange for the assignment of their right to receive a portion of certain future annual lottery payments is ordinary income or capital gain.1 We hold that that amount is ordinary income.
