    must be a full-time student ( 5 months per year)

    you haven't provided over 1/2 your support

    haven't file a joint return where there is a tax liability

    A US citizen, resident alien or national, or a resident of Canada or Mexico

     

     

    answer yes to all 4 and your parents can claim you

    your winnings would count as support provided by you so that one thing to consider. see point about support in previous post.
