A licensed trustee said...

She is required to tell her trustee about any “windfalls” (unexpected money such as an insurance payout, an inheritance, a lottery winning). Her trustee will determine if there is anyway to make the windfall exempt, but in most cases it will be used to paydown (or payoff) the bankrupt’s debts.
