Does tithing apply to money that is won or bequeathed (for example, a large lawsuit settlement or inheritance)?

Also as in Christmas gifts and birthday gifts, that is between the person and the Lord. The Lord is the ultimate Judge and he alone will make that judgement.

You bet it does! It applies to every gift even if the gift is not money. They will request that you value that gift and turn over 10%. Basically they want 10% of anything you might have as a gift or inheritance. Tithing is what fills the LDS bank accounts as well as the (free) efforts of 60 thousand untrained teenage boy priests, who act as missionaries to get the converts. It's a good strategy for business but very UN-Christian. BTW - LDS does not reveal its financial statements to any member. Of course most members assume that they turn over at least 10% to charity but one can also assume the chosen charity is Mormon. Parents pay for the missions so it's not surprising this church has a fat bank account based on the control it has over the membership. Unquestioned by the LDS members, this is an organisation that never reveals anything about finances to its members.
