You can look up your state's lottery website & it'll tell you. Biggest I won on a $30 scratcher was $200.

IRS robbing me in broad daylight. It's all good though lol.
I just handed my moms 2 thousand to get ahead on her bills after all that struggle we've been through...Cot damn it felt good man
I had no choice but to withdraw it all at once until I can get my Wells Fargo checking account all straightened out...aka payback some debt to them.

When you take lump sum yes, if you do payments they still take taxes out of every payment
They collect taxes either way but large amount of cash it's obviously gonna be large amount

But do you still have pay taxes for your winnings during tax season if the IRS already took out taxes from the lump sum?

That's a yes and a no though. That's what I was getting into it with OP about. They customarily take 25% right off the bat. Come tax time, they'll want 39.9% (15% more). Plus your overall income jumps into a new bracket. Wasn't trying to hate on OP. I'm done arguing but I did want to quote the above and make some answers clear. And now it's a broken record. But if one thinks they got robbed before, this time next year won't be looking good either.
Op, what's the first thing you bought? I'd probably go to a fancy steak restaurant the second I get handed that check.

I don't get how they can take another 15% if they already got a large sum just by accepting the money and before it even lands in your account.
I guess people who take lump sum of $50 million get screwed big time come tax season the first year

Yea I know after the initial tax you would get a little over 600k but now you or someone else was saying for your income taxes they would be taking another 15% off that 600k you already got AFTER taxes

nah 25 percent of a mill is 250k. so another 15 percent plus that 25 percent would be equal to 400 k. nothing after that if I'm not mistaken.Yea I know after the initial tax you would get a little over 600k but now you or someone else was saying for your income taxes they would be taking another 15% off that 600k you already got AFTER taxes
read it from a dude on the lotto forums I visit that won 2 mill. he walked away with like 1.2 million he said and owed nothing after that. .
you can also use past lotto losings as a tax deductable if you were to win . i save all my tickets, just in case i were to ever get lucky.
