Taxation of Poker Winnings

I've understood that for example lottery prizes are subject to 35% federal witholding tax and since the Swiss supreme court seems to have decided that poker is a game of luck it would make sence that the same tax would apply to poker profits also. But then again, this is just my speculation and I would like to know for sure...
