Hi Karthik,
As far as the FEMA violation I dont think there is any violation as only lottery remittance OUT OF INDIA is prohibited under FEMA and not inward flow of money.
As regards taxability, since global income of resident of India is taxable in India it has to suffer taxation. Also refer to the DTAA of the source country for clarity.
