Give him the 50k/yr and have him deal with the violation of his probation.

I agree. This would be the fairest way IMO.

It seems to be the only way to do it. Unless ofcoruse there is a law that says he isnt allowed to profit from banned activities kinds of like murderers arent allowed to benefit financially from selling books about their crimes.

I think it's more likely that either (1) the law establishing the lottery or (2) the terms and conditions on the lottery ticket state that players who are prohibited by law from playing the lottery may not receive a payout. If a minor buys a lottery ticket and wins, (s)he can't collect. I suspect the winnings go back into the prize pool.
