GOEKE, Judge:
Respondent determined a deficiency in petitioners' 1999 Federal income tax of $221,269.96. The sole issue for decision is whether a lump-sum amount received in exchange for an interest in a trust holding the right to receive future annual lottery payments is ordinary income or capital gain. We hold under the substitute for ordinary income doctrine that the lump-sum amount is ordinary income.
