More details to this question:
I am thinking about playing the powerball. Have not won anything. Just wanted to know if my question is true. I have entered many online sweepstakes. I would not want to stay on it if I could live off the winnings. Just want to know if it is true that I or anyone else on disablity for that matter, could not collect the winnings. Thank you.

You can collect the winnings. If you receive SSI you would no longer be qualified to receive it, assuming it was a substantial amount of winnings. If you receive SSD there would be no effect at all.
