Important Notes - About These Estimates
Tax calculations on this page apply current IRS marginal rate tables to gross jackpot payments. Because no deductions are factored in, the federal figures shown represent a higher-end estimate of what you might owe - your actual liability will likely be lower once deductions, credits, and your specific financial situation are accounted for.
Expected Value (EV) represents the average return per ticket across all prize tiers if the game were played a very large number of times. It is calculated using published prize tiers and probabilities when available. EV does not guarantee any outcome for an individual ticket and should not be interpreted as predicted winnings. EV can change as the advertised jackpot, cash option, or prize structure changes.
State taxes are calculated using a single flat rate (the top marginal or lottery-specific rate for that state). States that use graduated brackets would produce a slightly lower actual tax burden than what is shown here.
The annuity payment figures on this page are derived from the published jackpot amount using a standard escalation model. Actual disbursements from the lottery may differ slightly due to rounding or administrative adjustments.
This page does not include local or city taxes, which vary widely and may apply depending on where you live. Check with your local tax authority for details specific to your area.
Winners who are not U.S. residents are typically subject to a mandatory 30% federal withholding rate set by the IRS, which differs from the standard marginal rates shown above. Tax treatment for non-residents varies - consult a tax professional familiar with your country of residence.
ScratchCheck reviews state lottery withholding rates on a regular basis, but rates do change and there may be a lag before updates are reflected here. If you spot a rate that appears outdated, let us know at [email protected].
Lottery operators may reduce prize payments to satisfy outstanding obligations such as unpaid taxes or other government-mandated deductions before disbursement.
Nothing on this page is financial, tax, or legal advice. Every winner's situation is unique - before claiming a large prize, speak with a qualified tax professional and financial advisor.
