Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, Recently, my cousin won the lottery draw worth five millions pesos. It is called lotto. It is a part of games and amusement of Philippine charity sweepstakes Office, one of the agencies of the government. She bothered a lot because most her neighbors considered the money as Haram while others claimed that it is not Haram because the proceeds are being paid by Lotto players will go to charity works and services particularly among indigents. Now, which is which, Haram or not ? Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help
