Should people who have served time in custody be required to compensate the state if they win the lottery? These things do happen ... although in this case the perp, a sex offender, is in trouble not for the $10 million, but for not reporting a change of address. (Source: WCVB)
It's almost impossible to impose an enforcement mechanism that prohibits such people from playing lotteries or at casinos. But in my opinion, they owe restitution to their victims; and if they have a winfall they should forfeit it to those victims.
