Are gambling winnings considered earned income?

[jankay]

I'm currently in the process of filing for EI after I got laid off from my job recently. My question is, are gambling winnings considered earned income and therefore would affect the amount I receive or my eligibility to receive EI at all? I usually make around $2000 a month on bookies. Also FYI I am living in Ontario, Canada if that matters.

Thanks in advance.
