Question

Gambling

Sharon won $10,000 from the California Lottery on October 10, 2020. Sharon's gambling losses in 2020 were $5,000 playing the California Lottery. How much of the $5,000 wagering losses playing the California Lottery may Sharon deduct from the $10,000 winnings from the California Lottery in 2020?
