No. Unfortunately, the 1099-MISC you received for winning Disney tickets is income to you and not a gaming loss. The 1099-MISC should have been entered on your tax return. 

If you need to amend your tax return to add the 1099-MISC, wait until it is fully processed to amend. Please see the instructions below on how to use TurboTax to prepare an amended tax return(s). All federal amended tax returns need to be printed and mailed to be filed. Most state amended tax returns need to be printed and mailed to be filed.
