What happens if a mentally incompetent or mentally challenged adult, who is not in charge of their money (or has a legal guardian) wins a large sum of money?

Anyone can buy a lottery ticket.

I know that people under 18 are ineligible to enter or win.
So what happens if an adult who is mentally incompetent, not in charge of their money, or not emancipated, or residing with some other guardian, wins big?
