Quick FAQs
- Which state should I pick? Choose the state where the winning ticket was purchased (not where you live).
- What about local city taxes? Some cities (e.g., NYC, Yonkers) may also tax lottery winnings; our estimate focuses on state + federal.
- Will my final taxes be different? Yes — withholding is different from final tax. Consult a tax pro for your exact situation.
* Delaware: no state tax withheld at payout; up to 6.6% may be due at tax time.
** NYC (3.876%) and Yonkers (1.477%) local taxes may also apply.
Figures assume one winner and include 24% federal withholding plus the selected state rate for a simple estimate. For resident state taxes only. Check with your state if you live elsewhere. Final taxes can vary. For information only; not tax or legal advice.
