Smothering Tithe + Underworld Breach + Windfall
Overview
If you cast Windfall from your graveyard using Underworld Breach (escape), everyone discards then draws; Smothering Tithe will trigger once for each card an opponent draws, and each of those triggers is a separate triggered ability that the opponent may pay 
for when the trigger resolves (; Ruling [2023-09-01]). When casting via escape you choose how to cast the card and pay the escape cost (including exiling three other cards) as described in Ruling [2020-01-24].
for when the trigger resolves (; Ruling [2023-09-01]). When casting via escape you choose how to cast the card and pay the escape cost (including exiling three other cards) as described in Ruling [2020-01-24].Step 1
You cast Windfall from your graveyard by paying its escape cost with Underworld Breach; as part of that cost you pay the mana cost and exile three other cards from your graveyard (see Ruling [2020-01-24]).
Step 2
Windfall resolves. Each player discards their hand, then each player draws cards equal to the greatest number of cards any player discarded this way (the draw portion happens immediately as part of Windfall resolving).
Step 3
For each card an opponent draws as a result of Windfall, Smothering Tithe’s triggered ability triggers once (you’ll get one Smothering Tithe trigger per card drawn by each opponent).
Step 4
Because an opponent was instructed to draw multiple cards at once, that opponent actually draws all those cards first; then the multiple Smothering Tithe triggers exist and will be placed on the stack (Ruling [2023-09-01]).
Step 5
Smothering Tithe’s triggers are separate triggered abilities controlled by the Smothering Tithe’s controller. Each time one of those triggers resolves, the drawing player may pay as the cost on resolution; if they don’t, you create a Treasure token ().
as the cost on resolution; if they don’t, you create a Treasure token ().Step 6
Repeat for every Smothering Tithe trigger generated by the Windfall draw event.
Resolution
When Windfall resolves after being cast with escape from Underworld Breach: each player discards their hand, then each player draws the number of cards required by Windfall. For each card an opponent draws, Smothering Tithe creates a separate triggered ability. The drawing player draws all required cards first and then each Smothering Tithe trigger is put on the stack; when each Smothering Tithe trigger resolves that player may pay (a cost paid on resolution) or you create a Treasure for that trigger (; Ruling [2023-09-01]; Ruling [2020-01-24]).
