What is the ruling on receiving prizes through betting?

Question:
Ahmad from Dammam, go ahead, Ahmad. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. And upon you, peace. Our Shaykh, I have a question. I received an email from a foreign British company on my work email stating that I had won with them in a draw, even though I did not, I mean, enter their draw. Then, when I contacted them, it turned out that they randomly take a group of companies, take their email addresses, and then conduct draws on them. The amount is quite large, meaning it exceeds one million. Then, when I looked into the company's activities, it has activities in these online games, and it is also possible that it has something in what they call, which is what they call, like gambling, meaning they take money for the position of the games. Is my question: Can I use this money that comes to me from them, is it lawful or forbidden? Thank you.

Answer:
This, my brother, is gambling. It is not like gambling; this is gambling. No money is taken for contests, no money is taken for betting, and no money is taken for competitions. This is gambling, except for what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) excluded, which is taking a prize for riding horses or riding camels for the purpose of training for jihad, or archery.
He said: The arrow is the weapon on which one trains and learns for the sake of jihad in the path of Allah, the hoof is the camel, and the hoof is the horse. Prizes are taken for their competitions because they are means of jihad. As for everything else, taking money for contests and for betting is forbidden; because it is consuming wealth by falsehood, and this is gambling. Yes.
