Frequently Asked Questions
How much tax do you pay on lottery winnings?
Federal tax on lottery winnings is 24% withheld at the time of payment, but the actual rate is 37% for large jackpots (top tax bracket). State taxes range from 0% (in states like Texas and Florida) to over 13% (California). You may owe additional tax when filing your return.
Should I take the lump sum or annuity?
The annuity pays more total money over time but locks it up for 20-30 years. The lump sum gives you less but immediately, allowing you to invest. Most financial advisors suggest the lump sum if you can invest wisely, but the annuity provides protection against overspending.
