Dear Sir,
I am little confused that what you are to suppose to ask anyway on the provided information i will tell you what to do.
Your friend won lottery and earnred Gross Amount of Rs 100000/- but where as the Company deducted TDS of Rs 30000/- U/s 194-B (any payment earn from lottery above Rs 10000/- subject to TDS @ 10%) and therefore after deducting TDS of Rs 30000/- your client got Net of Rs 70000/- where as your client might got Form 16A for Deduction of TDS (where he cliam in fliling Income Tax return).
In your above information provided that your client no source of Income then, this income to be considered under Income from others (as you correctly stated).
But in your in case date of lottery winning not mentioned anyway i will considered as AY.2011-12 (FY 2010-10)
Anyway you can file ITR-2 With claimng Refund of Rs 30,000/- (as your client not even crossed theresold of Rs 1,80,000)
best regards,
Balram

If the client has no other income then he will not come under tax liability. He shall file the return stating amount deducted as TDS & the same will be refunded .For your info, Edu cess is not deducted at the time of TDS but payable at the time of final tax liability arising (if any )

Income from lottery has to be taxed at a special rate @ 30% + Cess3%. So he has to pay 3 % Cess. No question of refund.

"Sec 115BB:Where the total income of an assessee includes any income by way of winnings from any lottery or crossword puzzle or race including horse race (not being income from the activity of owning and maintaining race horses) or card game and other game of any sort or from gambling or betting of any form or nature whatsoever, the income-tax payable shall be the aggregate of -
(i) The amount of income-tax calculated on income by way of winnings from such lottery or crossword puzzle or race including horse race or card game and other game of any sort or from gambling or betting of any form or nature whatsoever, at the rate of thirty per cent.; and
(ii) The amount of income-tax with which the assessee would have been chargeable had his total income been reduced by the amount of income referred to in clause (i).
Explanation : For the purposes of this section. "horse race" shall have the same meaning as in section 74A."
The analysis of this section says that your client cannot claim refund of the T.D.S paid on lottery income and he has to pay education cess and higher secondary education cess on Rs.30000.
