Yes, you would only have stolen $10 and the lotto winnings would indeed be yours to keep. Thats the way our legal system works- You would be charged with stealing $10 and no more.

I'm not so sure of that. If you buy something with stolen money, that something is yours?

That doesn't make sense, and it's hard to believe that would be law.

You would not get to keep the lotto ticket and or winnings. Property bought with stolen money will be seized by the state. The victim would get their 10 bucks back and the state would keep the lotto winnings. Just like if I steal 200 and buy a bike, the bike would get seized. If they get 300 for the bike at auction, I don't get to keep the 100.
