It must absolutely be turned over to the court - no question about what to do here everything you own (right down to your underwear) is an asset of the bankruptcy estate prior to the discharge, even if its acquired during the dependency of the case.

Not necessarily, but you are required to report the winnings. The best way to do this is to let your attorney know about it.
