Ouch with the taxes. Here in the UK the winnings are tax free, also we don't have all the separate State, Federal, or local taxes. The only taxes ( The UK equivalent of your Federal taxes) to be paid on any winnings are only on the interest accrued in the Bank as they are classed as earnings, which will be 40% or there abouts of the interest earned.

Yes, as she said. After everyone pays national tax/ IRS/ Federal tax currently for these jackpots it's at 39.6%. Most states have further state income taxes. It depends non where you buy the ticket. Not where you live. About 10 states do not charge any income tax including: Texas Wyoming Tennessee Florida Washington state Delaware New Hampshire Plus Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands I think still don't charge taxes on winnings If you live in NYC then you are screwed with further taxes on top of state income tax which is already high at nearly 9%. NYC winners pay a further city and county tax too. If you live in NYC on a big jackpot it's worth traveling to New Hampshire or Delaware buying a ticket and saving your self vabout 15% in tax. So basically 2 different people can split a jackpot but depending on where you buy the ticket. So it's best to find out which stat doesn't state income charge for winnings and doesn't charge income tax on winnings not people from other states buying tickets

Friends Do you want to know the secret of winning a lottery…. Here is the the link that helps you to win your next lottery… tinyurl.com/lottowin55

Sorry, something doesn't sound "right".. The way you explained about the taxes seems as you pay it 'twice' over an amount already taxed. Or a something called "waterfall tax system".. So you win the lottery, for this amount of money, 35% will be the bracket, plus the state taxes if there is any, as you mentioned in NY they do tax lottery winners. Well, if the lottery doesn't cut it right away, you will be better ready to pay 35% by April of the next fiscal year. And that's it! So that's not your income, so the other following year, let's say you did some investments, then you will pay income taxes over "the profits/loss" of the investments, not the principal.

Yeah it is not that difficult to look up the current IRS tax bracket and rates per bracket, heck just search 'income tax in USA' on Wikipedia for the previous and current years max % and the difference in the brackets that get tax per each percentage. However some taxes can be a bit confusing for the uneducated and that is where the advisor or tax attorney comes into play for winners to be able to understand how to collect and get taxed less per the IRS/Federal Govt..

Still more than what I have now

I can understand the Federal income is mandatory and state income that varys per state.. But the local (city) tax man receive's a cut as well? I thought that local taxes were collected for business like Taxi cabs,night club owner's,restaurant's..etc.. Why do they deserve a dime...from lottery winner's anyway... The mayors office and city council member's are all lying "crooks" and they make way too much yearly income...!

Previous year the minimum to get the highest tax was lower.

Over 75% of every dollar in the lottery is taxed. Government takes 50% right off the top. 29% goes to the winner the other 21% goes to smaller prizes. Anything over $599 is taxed. The winner pays about half of it to taxes (state and federal) and probably about a quarter of all other prizes is taxed. That is 14.5%- 17.4% (depends on state tax rate) + 5.25% (other prizes) + 50% (government off the top) = 69.75% - 72.65% where is the other 5.26% you are wondering. Almost all winners eventually lose or spend all of their money so they are charged capital gains on made money and a property/sales tax on spending. Now if you're not convinced that adds up to 5.26%. Well the other smaller prizes won are mostly rolled over onto another lottery ticket therefore taxed another 50%.
